-4- RESOLUTION 82023 A RESOLUTION-ACCEPTING BID FOR • RECONSTRUCTION/REPLACEMENT OF THE ST. ANTHONY BOULEVARD BRIDGE Motion carried unanimously. Walter Miesky, 2912 Hilldale, was present- to ask questions about the proposed .fence .ordinance. which was being given its third reading by the Council. He said he was. the first homeowner on Hilldale and this is the- first time he has, had a problem with his neighbors maintaining their side of the fence which is built away .from their property line. He asked how people are to .know whether their existing fences are on their own or their neighbor's land.. Mr. Soth told Mr. Chesky it is the property owner' s responsibility to prove the fence is sited within his own property lines- and-1 if an existing fence is setback from the property line , it should be that owner's responsibility to keep the stretch of land between his and his neighbor's- land maintained. Councilman Enrooth added that Mr. Chesky must be willing to permit the neighbor to trespass on his land to cut the weeds ., Mr. Childs said he would send someone out .to the Chesky property to see if the City can be of some help in this difficulty. Mr. Soth told Councilman Marks he does not believe .a permit would be necessary for replacing a fence which has deteriorated, as long as the fence .is sited in the same location. Replacing a wire fence should not constitute an alteration which would require a permit under the new ordinance.. The difference between a fence which poses ' a safety hazard and one which is only an eyesore was also explored. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to approve the third reading and adopt the fence ordinance as submitted.
