Mounds View Planning Commission <br />Regular Meeting <br />September 2, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br />Commissioner Kieffer expressed confusion with City Code Section 1102 and asked which lot <br />line was considered to be the designated front yard. <br />Associate Heller discussed this with the Commission and explained how the City interpreted <br />front yards. <br />Chair Stevenson was in favor of staff revising the Code Amendment with the front yard <br />definition being more clearly defined to be discussed at a future Planning Commission meeting. <br />In addition, he supported fence heights being 6 -feet or less in second front yards of corner lots <br />with at least a one -foot setback from the property line on the second street frontage side. <br />The Commissioners all agreed with this recommendation.
