P &Z MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 1993 PAGE SIX would need to install their fence back the entire amount of feet required. Commission member Vermeulen expressed concern about how the City could tell a property owner they can't put up a fence just because their neighbor already has a fence. Commission member Welk expressed concern about how can you tell a property owner that "oh, no you can't have a fence" because the adjoining property already has one. Commission member LaMotte noted it could come down to telling property owners what type of fence they can have. Commission member Vermeulen noted that she feels this is a drainage easement problem, not a fence problem. Ms. Vermeulen noted that if a subcommittee will be prioritizing the drainage easement areas, the City could send letter to people that have placed things in the drainage easement and request them to be removed. Commission member Welk expressed that she felt it is more of a drainage easement situation than a problem with fence placement. Ms. Welk expressed that a letter should be sent to people who have drainage easements stating they must have permission from the City before installing anything within the easement area and require them to be three to four feet out of the easement area. • It appeared to be the consensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission that: • - the problem is not that of installation of fences; the problem deals with easement area; - the City should inspect existing structures located within easement areas to verify if there causing problems; - any new construction should require permission from the City to install structures within easement areas. ADJOURN: Motion by Vermeulen, second by Welk to adjourn the meeting, motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned 8:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sanna E. Buckbee Assistant City Clerk
