City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission October 04, 2022 lake, certain areas of the city, etc.). Attorney Glasser suggested using language that nearby cities have and filling in the variables; for example, the city could add language that bans hunting, except on the lake or parcel greater than 40 acres and with the owner’s permission; an overlay to this could be that there must be a 750 ft radius from structure, parks public land or right-of-way or boundary to a parcel. Attorney Glasser mentioned looking at the City of Lino Lakes’ language to ensure consistency in regulations with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), noting that this could make enforcement easier. Chair Kubat reviewed that the Board would like to continue supporting hunting on the lakes, not in an agricultural area. There is also a consensus for a prohibition related to distance from lot lines and structures. Finally there is consensus to use the State Statute for archery, muzzle loader and firearms. Attorney Glasser will revise the ordinance and this item will be brought back to the P&Z for further discussion. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1.Fence Plan Revisions – Amazon This item was discussed out of order, before Old Business. Administrator Statz introduced this item, noting that Amazon is requesting a variation in their fence plan. Amazon would like to install barbed wire on top of the 8ft security fence for the truck court. The City Code prohibits barbed wire and electric fences, except in the R-1 District and then may only be used in conjunction with agricultural activities. Also, fencing in commercial/industrial zoning districts shall not exceed 8 ft in height. A PUD allows some flexibility. Discussion ensued and members had mixed opinions about whether to amend the PUD. Reasons include aesthetics and safety. The representative for Amazon will take feedback received back to Amazon. No formal motion was made by the P&Z at this time. VIII.
