<br />January 4, 2008 <br /> <br />Memo to Planning & Zoning Commission: <br /> <br />From: Dallas Larson, Administrator <br /> <br />Suggestions for priorities from members was a bit light (nonexistent), so I recommend <br />that we concentrate our discussion on resolving the first six items of my rearranged list, <br />which primarily relate to fences, and do more if time permits. <br /> <br />1) 154.023 Site plan review process. I suggest removing the 30 day requirement in <br />(A). Also, the number of copies to submit should change. We do not need sixteen <br />copies. We are better off with a much smaller number of paper copies in addition to <br />electronic versions. <br />2) 154.110 Fence side setback. A number of people have objected to the requirement <br />to place a fence two feet from the property line where they cannot get the adjoining <br />property owner to agree to a boundary line fence. We hear: "this is a waste of two <br />feet of my property." <br />3) 154.110 Fences in front yards of commercial and industrial uses. Current rules <br />allow 8 foot fences in front yards of commercial-industrial uses. Do you really <br />intend to allow this? <br />4) 154.110 Fences in front of residential structures. We may want to refer to front <br />yard rather than front of building. This would clearly indicate that the comer lots <br />may not have a privacy fence in either front side. If this is too restrictive, you may <br />want to limit the long comer side to one-half of the distance from the principal <br />structure to the front property line. <br />5) 154.110 (C) Barbed wire and electric fencing. Allowed in R-1 zone. You may <br />want to restrict this to animal holding areas and not allow it to be used as a <br />boundary fence. <br />6) 154. 110 (E) Swimming pool fencing. Required for any pool with water depth over <br />24 inches. This may be too broad. <br />
