MEMORANDUM DATE: August 9, 1994 TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager CC: Larry Hamer, Public Works Director Planning Commission Members FROM: Chris Makowske, Planning Commissioner RE: RECOMMENDATION ON CORNER LOT FENCE POLICY In summarizing our findings regarding corner lot fences in St. Anthony, Mr. Hamer indicated that the difficulty might be solved by the addition of an ordinance regarding interior side yards. Based on that, and in accordance with the City Council's directive on formulation of a policy for corner lots, I have drafted the following proposals for the next Planning Commission meeting: • Add to definitions in Section 1605.01: Subd. 80. Yard, Exterior Side. A side yard which abuts a street or public right-of-way [along the side lot line] . Subd. 82. Yard, Interior Side. A side yard which abuts an adjacent side yard or back yard [along the side lot line] . • Re-number present Subd. 80-84. • Add to Section 1320.03, Subd. 3 or as a separate Subd.: On corner lots where an interior side yard abuts the back yard of an adjacent property [along the side lot line] , a fence not exceeding 6' in height may be built on the interior side yard forward to the front lot line and a fence not exceeding 4' in height may be built on the exterior side yard. (See definitions in Section 1605.01) or alternately, using simpler, but less clear, wording: Corner lots. Where an interior side yard abuts the back yard of an adjacent property, a 6' fence may be built in the interior side yard forward to the front lot line and a 4' fence may be built in the exterior side yard.
