Council Report 06-108
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - FENCE
ProDosed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 06-62. approving a
conditional use permit for a special purpose fence at 22 - 14th Avenue North.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting Ms. Flynn moved and Ms. Newcomb seconded a motion
to adopt Resolution RZ06-21, recommending approval of a conditional use permit for a
special purpose fence at 22 - 14th Avenue North. The motion was approved on a 5-1 vote.
Mr. Aarness voted nay.
Overview.
The applicant, Susan Parker, the owner of22 - 14th Avenue North, had a fence constructed on
her property. The fence was purchased through Home Depot, and Midwest Fence did the
actual construction. There was a misunderstanding on who was going to get the fence
permit, and the result was that a fence permit was not taken out. The fence does not meet the
ordinance requirements. Six-foot fences are not allowed between homes. The applicant's
fence is six feet to the front of the house. The applicant was notified of the fence violation
and has applied for a conditional use permit to allow the fence to remain.
Because of the mix-up, Midwest Fence will fix the fence if the conditional use permit is not
granted.

Primarv Issues to Consider.
What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
The subject property is zoned R-I-A, Single and Two Family High Density. The
Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as low density residential.
What does the ordinance state regarding a special purpose fence?
Special purpose fences. Fences for special purposes and fences differing in construction,
height or length may be permitted in any district in the City by the issuance of a conditional
use permit and by the Council upon proof and reasons submitted by the applicant and upon
the signing by said bodies that such special purpose is necessary to protect, buffer or improve
the premises for which such fence is intended. The special fence permit, if issued, may
stipulate and provide for the height, location, construction and type of special fence thereby
permitted.
What are the reasons for the fence?
The fence was put up to keep the applicant's autistic child in the yard.
What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the fence. Ms. Parker, the applicant, appeared before the
Commission. Ms. Parker brought pictures of the fence and stated that she had a petition
signed by people in favor of the fence. Mr. Aarness was concerned that the child still could
get into the front yard where there is a four-foot fence. Gloria Hayes spoke at the public
hearing in favor of the fence.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the conditional use permit to allow the fence to remain. By approving the
conditional use permit the fence will be allowed to remain.
2. Deny the conditional use permit to allow the fence. By denying the conditional use
permit, the applicant will not be able to keep the fence as constructed. If the City Council
considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
