Loading...
Summary
The Cottonwood Heights administrative hearing approved a conditional-use permit (CUP 25-019) allowing an 8-foot fence (4-foot cedar fence atop a 4-foot retaining wall) at 2184 E 7495 S for privacy adjacent to an HOA common area; staff recommended approval with building-permit and inspection conditions and there were no public speakers.
Administrative hearing officer Jim Spung approved a conditional-use permit allowing an 8-foot wall/fence at 2184 East 7495 South after a staff presentation and no public testimony. City staff presented the proposal and recommended approval with standard permit and inspection conditions.
Emma, a city staff presenter, said the applicant "is proposing to construct an 8 foot fence along the 20 foot portion of the south property line" consisting of a 4-foot cedar fence atop an existing 4-foot concrete retaining wall to provide privacy and safety adjacent to an HOA common area. Emma told the hearing the fencing code "does allow 8 feet in any zone as a conditional use" and that consent from neighbors is not required for an 8-foot request.
Applicant Tamara Hals stated her name for the record and had no additional comments. The hearing officer opened the public hearing, received no in-person testimony and closed the hearing. Jim Spung said he had reviewed the staff report and moved to approve "item CUP 25-019 subject to the conditions of approval outlined in the report as well as in the oral presentation." The conditions mentioned by staff include obtaining a building permit, completing all required inspections, and ensuring the finished fence does not exceed 8 feet from existing grade.
The decision records approval subject to the conditions outlined by staff and the hearing officer. The meeting proceeded to the next agenda item without further changes to the proposal.
