Pronosed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution RZ95-33
recommendin�approval of a conditional use permit to construct a fence from 17th to 20th
Avenues on the north side of County Road 3.
Overview.
In conjunction with the County Road 3 improvements from Shady Oak Road to l lth Avenue
that will be taking place in 1996, the City is proposing to construct a seven-foot high fence on
the north side of County Road 3 from 17th Avenue to 20th Avenue. The residents along
County Road 3 have requested a fence because County Road 3 will be moved further to the
north with the improvements. One home will be appro�mately five feet from the sidewalk.
The fence will be located approximately one and one-half feet from the back of the sidewalk.
,�-., The proposed fence will not be a solid wall along County Road 3. There will be breaks for
driveways that have access onto County Road 3.

Primarv Issues to Consider.
o Why is a conditional use permit needed?
A conditional use permit is required for all fences that differ in height and construction than
allowed by the zoning ordinance. The zoning ordinance allows a ma�mum height of six feet
for a fence in a residential district.
o What are the specifics of the proposed fence?
The proposed fence will be constructed of cedar with eight foot panels. The proposed fence
will not be painted, and will slowly turn a gray color. The zoning ordinance allows an opaque
fence along State and County roads. The fence will be seven feet in height.
Alternatives.
1. Recommend approval of the conditional use permit. By recommending approval of the
conditional use permit, the City Council will consider a recommendation of approval to
construct the fence.
� 2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit. By recommending denial of the
conditional use permit, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the
Planning Commission considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that
support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.
