City of Centerville <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />June 3, 2008 <br />1. Code Amendments -Chapter 154 <br />The Planning Commission and members of the City Council reviewed the draft of Chapter <br />154 of the Zoning Code. <br />City Administrator Larson displayed aerial photos of several neighborhoods. Using <br />several corner lots as examples, members of the Planning Commission and City Council <br />discussed the criteria for fences. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Council Member Lee stated that fences for a standard lat should be defined and those lots <br />that are not standard, should be considered on an individual basis. <br />Consensus reached that a definition of side yards should be added as the rule on side yard <br />fences is unclear as currently written. The recommended wording would include "the <br />front yard extends to the rear corner of the structure/foundation. " City Administrator <br />Larson will draft the wording for approval and include sketches for clarification. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that current fences would be grandfathered in if legally <br />constructed. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the draft would be presented to the Planning <br />Commission for one last review. He stated that the next step is to schedule a public <br />hearing for August, 2008. <br />Council Member Broussard-Vickers pointed out that zoning changes would be required to <br />match the new Comprehensive Plan. <br />VII.
