Board Approves Fence Height Waiver for 603 Skyline Drive

During a recent Planning and Zoning meeting in Cody, Park County, significant decisions were made that will impact local residents and property owners. The board approved a conditional use permit for a property located at 2716 Cougar Avenue, allowing for new developments that are expected to enhance the neighborhood.

One of the key discussions centered around a fence height waiver for 603 Skyline Drive. The property owner, Tim White, requested permission to construct three windbreak fence structures, each 16 feet tall. These structures are designed to withstand Wyoming's strong winds and will be made of cedar, supported by steel pipes driven deep into the ground. The board received no objections from neighboring property owners, and the staff recommended approval, which was granted unanimously. This decision reflects the community's need for effective windbreak solutions, particularly in areas prone to harsh weather conditions.

Additionally, the board reviewed an amended site plan for 1234 Sheridan Avenue, which involves extending the front canopy of a building. This extension will slightly encroach into the public right-of-way, but it has already received the necessary permissions from the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The board's approval of this amendment is expected to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the property.

These decisions highlight the ongoing efforts of the Cody Planning and Zoning Board to address community needs while balancing development with local regulations. As these projects move forward, they promise to enhance the quality of life for residents in the area.
