SPECIAL The City Planner presented an ordinance amendment PURPOSE relating to temporary special purpose fences providing FENCES protection from natural elements. The Planner noted that this ordinance amendment will exempt temporary special purpose fences of less than 42 inches in height in rear yards from permit requirements. The Council discussed the 42 inch height limitation noting that standard fencing materials are either 36 or 48 inches in height. It was the consensus of the Council to use a 48 inch height limitation. Morelan asked the definition of side yard, noting that the ordinance says that this type of fencing could be located only in a rear yard. The Planner replied that the fence could not be located in the required front yard or side yard. The required side yard is 10 feet in from the property line to the rear of the structure. Front yard is considered at the narrowest frontage of a lot. The Planner stated that the ordinance says that this type of special purpose fencing could not be located in the required rear or side yard setbacks. The Planner felt there would be no problem interpreting this ordinance for enforcement purposes since the Code Enforcement Officer is used to dealing with required front, rear, and side yards.
