Council denies fencing variance, gives owners 30 days to remove outdoor storage after neighbor objections
Summary
At its Jan. 8 meeting, the Scott City Council denied a fencing variance request affecting the Wang family property and approved a 30-day period beginning Jan. 9, 2026, for the removal of traps and other items stored outdoors after neighboring residents objected; councilmembers suggested building additional on-site storage as an option.
At its Jan. 8 meeting, the Scott City Council voted unanimously to deny a requested fencing variance and to give the property owners 30 days, beginning Jan. 9, 2026, to move traps and other items currently stored outdoors offsite.
Councilman Boudreaux introduced the motion to deny the variance and to require the removal timeline; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Charlie Genin spoke on behalf of the Wang family in the discussion that preceded the vote. Neighbors Jake Jiacoletti and Tom Matthews spoke against allowing outside storage and fencing at the site.
Councilman Roy and Councilman Boudreaux said they would support the property owner building a second structure for storage if needed; a timeline for constructing additional storage was discussed but the council took no separate action beyond approving the removal order.
The council’s action resolves the immediate code/variance request by denying the variance and establishing a 30-day compliance window; the council did not specify follow-up enforcement steps during the meeting.
