APPEARANCES I. Mr. Roger Shimon - ZoninglElectrical Fencing Mr. Shimon, 1751 Peltier Lake Drive, was present and expressed his concern for electrical fence running along the back of his property, eight (8) feet off the property line. Mr. Shimon stated that there should be a larger buffer and requested that the Commission modifies the ordinance accordingly. Ms. Buckbee stated she was the owner of the electrical fence and that the fence was previously fifty (50) feet off the property line as a courtesy to neighboring residents. However, recently the fencing was moved to within eight (8) feet of the property line. Mr. March stated that R-I zoning allows for electrical fencing and that the issue is whether the ordinance needed to be amended to include a buffer zone between properties where electric fencing is allowed and where other residentially zoned areas abut. Chairperson Hanson stated that the current ordinance allows a property owner to place a fence directly on the property line if so desire and that it is a courtesy that the property owner has left an eight (8) foot buffer. Commissioner McLean questioned whether there were similar properties that have electrical fencing. Ms. Buckbee stated that there were other properties within Centerville large enough to have livestock but was unsure if others have electrical fencing. Mr. March indicated the Commission would need to amend Ordinance #4 if they felt there was a need to incorporate a requirement for a buffer zone between properties with electrical fencing and those without. Commissioner DeVine questioned whether Council Liaison Vickers' property had electrical fencing. Council Liaison Vickers stated she did not but thought there was old barbwire fencing located on your property. Commissioner DeVine stated he did not feel the need to amend Ordinance #4. 2. Mr. Terry Sager - Mini-Storage Mr. Terry Sager and his partner, Ed Sadeline were present and requested the Commission's willingness in allowing a mini-storage facility in Centerville. Commissioner Brainard questioned whether the facility would have an on-site attendant. Mr. Sadeline stated it would not. Mr. March stated that previously a proposal for mini-storage had been denied due to limited space in the industrial park, the facility did not use city utilities, and did not create jobs for the City.
