Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes <br /> August 18, 2009 <br /> Page 4 <br /> 1 Commissioner Jensen reiterated his support for consideration of a special purpose fence <br /> 2 category. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Chair Stromgren requested staff to provide feedback on the regulation of fence height through <br /> 5 conditional use permits versus variances with fence heights higher than six feet considered based <br /> 6 on quantifiable things such as topography and bordering a community that St. Anthony does not <br /> 7 have jurisdiction over. He suggested the Commission review this section of the City Code. He <br /> 8 noted that a number of the surveyed communities allow 6-foot side yard fences to the front <br /> 9 corner of the house which he does not believe is allowed in St. Anthony. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Commissioner Jensen commented that there are a considerable number of corner lots in the City <br /> 12 with 6-foot side yard fences. He noted the requirement for fencing around pools. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Commissioner Jenson suggested the commissioners conduct drive-bys and put together notes for <br /> 15 discussion in addition to the information requested from staff. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Commissioner Jensen suggested addressing any changes to the fence height ordinance with other <br /> 18 housekeeping city code items that will be coming forward. He pointed out that there may be the <br /> 19 potential for fencing with the Autumn Woods Assisted Living Project that was postponed from <br /> 20 tonight's agenda. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Commissioner Chaput asked if there has been any feedback from the Public Safety Department <br /> 23 regarding fence heights.
