AGENDA ITEM 4 E <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Wyland <br />DATE February 23, 1995 1S <br />TOPIC Ordinance No. -95 REVISIONS TO FENCE ORDINANCE <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />At the request of our Building Inspector, City Staff has reviewed <br />the existing fence ordinance and proposed the changes highlighted <br />on the attached ordinance. These changes were initiated by citizen <br />request and involve the following: <br />A) Change ordinance to allow a 6' fence to be installed from <br />the front of the home to the rear property line. Existing <br />ordinance provides for a 6' fence from the back of the house <br />to the rear property line. <br />B). Change the requirement providing for 30% of open area to <br />10%. This change would allow purchase of standard type <br />privacy fences offered for sale at Knox, Menards, Etc. <br />C). Clarify the section relating to the side of the fence <br />considered to be the face. <br />We have reviewed the fence ordinance in several adjoining <br />communities including Circle Pines, Blaine, Hugo, Forest Lake, <br />White Bear Township, New Brighton, and Arden Hills. These <br />ordinance were reflective of the changes we are proposing. <br />The Planning & Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on February 8, <br />1995 and recommended approval of the attached Ordinance. <br />tri �w�er�s <br />Approve First Reading of Ordinance No. <br />2.
