The <br />commission discussed how to balance public safety and nuisances with property owner rights. Formal <br />code changes will be brought forward at an upcoming meeting for further consideration. <br /> <br />Development <br />Amazon – Request for Changes to Fencing Plan <br />Representatives from Amazon’s project management team presented a request to add barbed wire to <br />fencing around its truck dock area on the site currently under construction. The commission expressed a <br />mixture of opinion on the issue. City Code prohibits the use of barbed wire, except in agricultural areas, <br />but the development was approved under a Planned Unit Development (PUD), which allows for <br />flexibility. <br /> <br />Amazon’s representatives will decide whether or not to pursue a formal request to amend the PUD. <br /> <br />The Commission may also explore changes to city code to allow barbed wire in certain industrial areas. <br /> <br />
