Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes <br />August 16, 2022 <br />Page 6 <br />1 Chair Socha stated that requirement would restrict property owner’s rights regarding what <br />2 they do on their own land. <br />3 <br />4 Commissioner Erickson stated, with regard to fence materials, the intent should be for every <br />5 straight length of fence to have no more than 2 materials, and ideally only one material. <br />6 <br />7 Commissioner Rude stated an attractive fence could be made of multiple materials. He added <br />8 maybe the style of fence should be stipulated. <br />9 <br />10 Commissioner Morita stated these concerns are addressed in earlier sections. <br />11 <br />12 Commissioner Rude stated the change in Item E stating “outward toward adjoining property” <br />13 should also be changed in Item F. Mr. Grittman agreed. <br />14 <br />15 Commissioner Rude asked whether maintenance should be defined in Item H, with regard to <br />16 peeling paint, stain or broken fence components.

He noted <br />41 the benches are a good service for bus riders, but they are not maintained and could become <br />42 hazardous. <br />43 <br />44 Mr. Grittman stated the Code Enforcement Officer did extensive research on this issue, and <br />45 there are 1-2 major bus bench owners in St. Anthony, as well as one bench that is owned by
