ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON FUTURE AGENDA:

ITEN NO. 2  -  MODIFICATIONS TO FENCE STANDARDS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES (PROJECT NO. 2005-63:  ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT)

The ordinance introduced by the Council contained the following amendments: 

• Property owners shall not be required to pay a fee when appealing a denial of any application for Minor Fence Exception Permits or Major Fence Exception Permits.

• There shall be no height or spacing requirements on trees, bushes, hedges or other vegetation.  However, trees, hedges and other vegetation shall be subject to the safety findings established for the abeyance of enforcement actions for non-conforming fences and walls.

• Yard features and ornamentation shall be allowed, and there shall be no limitation on the number or size of yard features and ornamentation.

• The fifth (5th) safety finding (i.e., finding �e�) shall be deleted from Section 31-19202 regarding Enforcement Abeyance Provisions in Lieu of Fence Permits.

• During any (i) enforcement action abeyance review, (ii) review of any application for a minor permit exception, or (iii) review of any application for a major fence exception permit for any non-conforming fence, wall, hedge or other feature, property owners shall have the opportunity to propose measures to mitigate or abate any safety concerns subject to Section 31-19202.  

• Finding No. 7 required for both Minor and Major Fence Exception Permits is modified to read as follows: The scale and proportion of the feature are consistent and compatible with structures on the same property and within the general area.

Additionally, the Council adopted the proposed fee resolution specifically providing that the permit fees for the Minor Fence Exception Permit and Major Fence Exception Permit shall be $75.00 and $150.00, respectively, for the first (1st) year following the effective date of the Ordinance, and that such fees shall thereafter be increased to $150.00 and $300.00 for Minor Fence Exception Permits and Major Fence Exception Permits, respectively.

The Council also directed that the application period for volunteers to serve on the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Fences, Walls and Landscaping be extended.
