Goodland planning commission recommends larger curb setback for fences to allow 5-foot ADA sidewalk
Summary
The Goodland Planning Commission voted to recommend an amendment to fence setback rules, increasing the curb-to-fence setback to make room for a five-foot ADA sidewalk; staff reported no public opposition during the hearing.
The Goodland Planning Commission recommended that the city commission approve a change to fence setback rules that would increase the required distance from the back side of the curb to a fence from the current 4 feet to 6 feet to make room for a five-foot Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk.
A staff member told the commission the proposed change is intended to allow for a five-foot ADA-compliant sidewalk in front of or along the side of properties if the city or a property owner chooses to install one. Staff also reported that no public comments or objections were received before the hearing.
During the meeting a motion was made and passed to forward the recommendation to the city commission. The motion’s recorded text referenced adopting an ordinance (the transcript includes both “ordinance 1817” in the staff presentation and later the motion referenced “ordinance 157” and a chapter/section amendment; the record shows the motion carried).
