City of Centerville <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />January 8, 2008 <br />Parucci requested that the setback be reduced or eliminated, but the majority agreed <br />that the setback was appropriate. <br />3) 154.110 The Commission determined that this section should be rewritten to not <br />permit privacy or security fences in front yards. Staff will submit proposed code <br />revisions. <br />4) 154.110 Considerable time was spent discussing the appropriate restrictions on fences <br />in residential districts particularly those in the street frontage of corner lots. The <br />consensus of the Commission was that staff should draft new language that provides: <br />a. Where a corner lot abuts an adjacent property's front yard, the fence should be <br />set back a minimum of 10 feet, unless the fence is a decorative fence. <br />b. A decorative fence should be defined as a fence not exceeding a height of 36 <br />inches that is picket type fence, wrought iron, or split rail. <br />c. All fences shall be set back a minimum of two feet from any property line, <br />except adjoining lot lines where an agreement with a neighbor may permit <br />construction on a boundary line, but in no event shall any fence be closer than <br />fifteen feet to a curb or street pavement. <br />d. Corner lots shall only have one front yard for the purpose of fences and that <br />should be the side that has the front entrance to the home. <br />5) 154.110 (C) The Commission agreed to leave the regulations on barbed wire and <br />electric fencing as they are. <br />The balance of the discussion items were tabled. <br />V. NEW BUSINESS <br />Commissioner Love suggested that the City should try to get a guard rail installed along <br />Centerville (CSAH 21) immediately north and south of Center Street. The ditch is very deep. A <br />motion was made by Commissioner Love that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend to <br />the City Council that a request be made by the City for a guard rail along the east side of <br />Centerville Road (CSAH 21) from Center Street south for a distance of approximately 400 feet. <br />The motion was seconded by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, all present voted in favor of the <br />motion. The motion carried unanimously. <br />VL DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />The next meeting will be a joint meeting with Council to discuss the draft of the 2008 <br />Comprehensive Plan. The draft will be distributed about February 1, 2008, for the meeting <br />on February 12. <br />VII. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES <br />1.
