Committee recommends approval of conditional use permit to retain six‑foot front yard fence at 404 Circle Drive
Summary
The Planning and Economic Development Committee forwarded a conditional use permit allowing a six‑foot front‑yard fence at 404 Circle Drive to City Council with a recommendation of approval.
The committee recommended City Council approve a conditional use permit (CUP25‑225) allowing a six‑foot‑tall fence in the front yard at 404 Circle Drive.
Staff described the lot as 0.21 acres with a unique orientation: Circle Drive wraps around the front and side, creating one continuous front yard. The fence was installed without an initial permit, creating a zoning violation; the CUP is the administrative remedy that would allow the existing white vinyl fence to remain. The applicant's letter cited the presence of a child with developmental delay and proximity to an Interstate 81 access as reasons for the fence.
Planning staff recommended approval subject to conditions that a fence permit be obtained, the fence height not exceed six feet and that major replacement would require returning to the CUP process. A motion to approve the CUP and forward it to Council passed; the committee will recommend approval to City Council.
