MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />NOVEMBER 9, 1993 <br />fence cannot exceed 8 -feet in height. There is no <br />minimum height requirement, however, the fence would <br />have to be of adequate height to provide screening. <br />DeLonais suggested that the City require setting the <br />posts for the fencing in cement to keep the fences <br />straight and sturdy. <br />The Planner was not sure whether or not building <br />requirements required fence posts to be set in cement. <br />Keis stated that he would like to add chain -link <br />fencing as an option to wood or block. <br />Knudsen asked if landscaping was required between the <br />right -of -way and the fence. <br />The Planner replied that the code states that anything <br />that is not parking or building area must be <br />landscaped. Boulevard areas are required to be grass. <br />Drabik stated that she did not want to see chain -link <br />fencing in front of a building slatted. <br />Carson pointed out that the Code does not allow outdoor <br />storage in front of a building. <br />Mr. Carson recommended that the Code be amended to <br />require slatted chain -link fencing for screening of any <br />open and outdoor storage in the I -1 District. <br />Motion seconded by DeLonais. <br />Motion failed 2 to 4. Carson and DeLonais voting in <br />favor, and Keis, Knudsen, Drabik, and Schletty voting <br />against. <br />Drabik recommended that the Code be amended adding <br />slatted chain -link fencing as a screening material for <br />any open and outdoor storage areas in the I -1 District <br />pointing out that open and outdoor storage is not <br />allowed in front of a building in this District. <br />Motion seconded by Keis. <br />Motion carried 5 - 1. DeLonais voted against. <br />Carson asked how the ordinance will be enforced. <br />Carson noted that the attorney's office at 303 East <br />Little Canada Road was to provide screening for the <br />property to the north. That screening was to be 6 foot <br />evergreens, and the ones which were planted are only <br />about three feet high. <br />Page 6 <br />
