Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 22, 2018 Page 20 Councilmember Willmus indicated it did not make any sense for there to be a not permitted use in CMU-2. These changes would bring CMU-2 in line with CMU- 1. Roll Call Ayes: McGehee, Willmus, Laliberte, Etten and Roe Nays: None. Councilmember McGehee stated she had a question regarding the fence height, wondering if the Council wanted to do anything with that. She appreciated that the height would be at least six feet and would be a Conditional Use. She could see where this could be by a residential area and possibly the property being built upon higher than what was adjacent or vice versa. She stated she would like to see the original language, which stated at least between 6 and 6.5 feet. She thought that would provide more flexibility to protect residential property owners. Mayor Roe thought the wording specified the fence would need to be at least six feet. Councilmember Etten asked if there was a height limit to fences in the City. Mr. Paschke stated it depended on what District the business is in. Councilmember Etten thought if he was a neighbor to one of the listed businesses, he would not want a ten-foot fence. He thought it would be an obstruction. A 6 to 6.5-foot fence makes it seems less aggressive. Councilmember McGehee thought if there is a situation where there are significan differences in height between two adjacent parcels, 6.5 feet might not be ade- quate for screening. She would like to have the flexibility under Conditional Use to change the height. Mayor Roe preferred the wording to be "At least six feet" and removing the lan- guage of"to 6.5 feet". Councilmember McGehee stated that was correct. Councilmember Etten noted in Table 1006-1, under the brewery in office business park, one of the changes made by the Planning Commission was making the brewery/distillery conditional versus not permitted. He wondered if the Council wanted that designation in the office business park or does the Council not want a brewery operating in that situation. Mayor Roe thought this is conditional so there would be some flexibility to ap- prove or disapprove it,but it could become quite large.
