City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission February 12, 2008 City Administrator Larson stated that the 30 day requirement in Section 154.023(A) has been revised as agreed to by the Planning and Zoning Commission to state that application materials must be submitted at least five business days before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. In addition, Section 154.023(C) has been revised to reflect that three sets of site plans will be required versus sixteen. He stated that the City may also require that plans be submitted in an acceptable electronic format. City Administrator Larson stated that Section 154. ll0(A)(1) has been revised as agreed to by the Planning and Zoning Commission to state that all fences shall be located a minimum of two feet from any property line. He stated that Section 154.ll0(A)(3) has been revised to state that all decorative fences shall have at least 40% of the surface area of the fence open. Commissioner Love questioned whether a definition of "street property line" should be included in this section. City Administrator Larson replied that this is the property line as it abuts the street as opposed to the interior property line. It was the consensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission to include a definition of "street property line" in the code revision. Councilmember Broussard questioned whether the word "wood" should be deleted in Section 154. ll0(A)(3) in describing vertical post, horizontal rail, and picket type fences. She stated that there are new products on the market made of recycled vinyl that would be acceptable. She requested that spiked metal tops not be allowed when referring to wrought iron fencing. It was the consensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission to delete the word "wood" as it relates to vertical post, horizontal rail, and picket type fences. City Administrator Larson questioned whether the height requirement is accurately reflected in the code. It was the consensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission that the height requirement as contained in the code is acceptable. Councilmember Broussard questioned whether the snow-stop fencing should include the same setback requirements as decorative fencing. City Administrator Larson replied that the snow-stop fencing does not need a setback requirement and is considered a temporary fence. City Administrator Larson questioned whether the code should contain a provision that states where snow-stop fencing is permitted and whether it should be restricted to the R-1 District or on a lot with more than "x" number of acres. He stated that it may be appropriate to restrict the use of a snow-stop fence by a showing of need as a special use. Page 3 of 5
