Council approves two six‑foot privacy fences; one application marked variance clarified

The Calumet City Council approved two building‑permit items for six‑foot privacy fences after staff clarified the applications and aldermen raised a missing barrier on one submission. A staff member noted 1392 Mackinac sought a standard 6‑foot privacy fence and that the application was not a variance; the clerk and Director Tillman reviewed the matters and answered questions. An alderman asked about a missing barrier in one application and was told to speak with Director Tillman after the meeting so the item could be placed on the next agenda if needed. "If you could talk to director Tillman after the meeting about that 1. If so, we can put it on the next agenda," the mayor said. Alderman Nelson moved to approve the fence items and Alderman Harvey seconded. The clerk called the roll and the permits were approved. Council members noted the applications were for standard six‑foot privacy fences and did not identify formal variances for the docketed addresses. No building inspections or permits conditions beyond the standard privacy fence were discussed on the record; Director Tillman agreed to address any missing documentation after the meeting and return items to a future agenda if necessary.
