i~tINUTES <br /> <br /> Crty Council <br /> (Cont d.) <br /> January 24, 19P30 <br /> hir. Nielson pointed out that ti~is fence height requirement is <br /> cross-referenced in the traffic vis~ibil'ity section of the Ordinance. <br /> Mayor Nanson questioned the point under the fence requirements <br /> that regulates the fence around tennis courts. P~ayor Hanson asked <br /> what about the tennis court that may be in someone's front yard. <br /> The Ordinance provides fora chain link fence around a tennis court <br /> not higher than ten feet. <br /> Mr. Nielson stated that the wording could be changed to not permit <br /> a tennis court in a required front yard or side yard set back. <br /> The Attorney questioned why a chain link fence was being required <br /> around a tennis court. Parks stated that a chain link fence is <br /> very costly. <br /> Mayor fianson asked why the fence section addresses fencing around <br /> tennis courts, but doesn't address fencing around svrimming pools. <br /> Nanson suggested that this subject be addressed in the section covering <br /> accessory uses. Fahey commented that it should be cross-referenced <br /> in this section on fences. <br /> Mr. Nielson stated that he would do this and would also broaden 'the <br /> chain link fence requirement around tennis courts. hlielson stated <br /> that he will try to come up with a general term that includes more <br /> than chain link fences. <br /> Council agreed that the 3 1/2 foot maximum for a fence in a front <br /> yard was a good ideas <br /> Nielson stated that any reference to eight (3) feet in this section <br /> on fences should be changed to six and one-half (6 1/2) feet. <br /> hJielson stated that he also provided for requiring a collapsable <br /> section in a fence for access by emergency vehicles, if there vras <br /> no other access available. <br /> IVielson stated that the word "width" in the second line of b.(1) on <br /> page 17 should be changed to "depth". fJielson also stated that <br /> the words "Planning Commission and" would be eliminated from 6. on <br /> page 17 as previously suggested. <br /> Mayor Hanson pointed out that on page 19 under fV. the Ordinance <br /> prohibits unlicensed vehicles in yards. Mayor lianson stated that <br /> some people restore cars, and the way the Ordinance is written <br /> these cars could not be parked on the property. The Planner asked <br /> how this could be regulated, how would 'the City know if the car <br /> was actually being restored, or the property owner was just <br /> claiming this. Councilman Fahey stated that the cars being restored <br /> could be licensed, and then there would be no problem. Planson <br /> pointed out that some cars are just used for parts, and the oavners <br /> would not want to license them. <br /> Pa9P <br /> <br />
