Waunakee board amends zoning to allow barbed wire at public utility facilities
Summary
The board approved a zoning text amendment requested by Waunakee Utilities to permit barbed wire fences that enclose public utility facilities, citing safety at a facility in Centennial Park. The Plan Commission had recommended approval.
The Waunakee Village Board approved a zoning text amendment on April 16 that revises regulations to allow barbed wire fences where they enclose public utility facilities.
Lauren, a village staff member, told trustees the change was requested by Waunakee Utilities to improve safety and deter unauthorized entry at utility facilities, including the Centennial Park site. The Plan Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended approval.
No members of the public spoke during the open public hearing on the amendment, and trustees voted in favor of the ordinance change during the meeting.
The amendment applies narrowly to public utility facilities and follows the Plan Commission recommendation; final implementation will be through zoning enforcement and coordination with Waunakee Utilities.
