Hebron planning board unanimously recommends redline package of zoning amendments
Summary
The board recommended a package of proposed zoning amendments covering permitted uses, review procedures, nuisance and fence rules, landscaping standards, yard maintenance and lot-split processes, and a new "Community Development Coordinator" term; staff will draft a neighbor consent form for fences on lot lines.
The Village of Hebron Planning & Zoning Board on April 13 voted unanimously to recommend a package of proposed zoning amendments to the village code.
Economic & Community Development Director Brittany Misner presented a redline packet showing the proposed changes. Attorney Jennifer Huber told the board that "no changes have been made since the last Planning and Zoning meeting" and that the packet is intended to show residents what would change if adopted. The sections in the packet include 1137.02 (Permitted Uses), 1141.07 (Review Procedure), 1147.03 (Public Nuisance Regulations), 1147.05 (Fences, Hedges, Decks, & Carports), 1147.07 (Temporary Uses), 1155.02 (Landscaping & Screening Standards), 1163.14 (Yard Area Maintenance), and several lot-split application and approval sections, plus a new "Community Development Coordinator" term.
Board member Randy Wolf asked for clarification on fence side-setback rules and whether a neighbor consent form or notarization would be required when a fence sits on a property line. Huber said staff can draft a neighbor consent form and that final determination about notarization would be left to Director Misner's office; the two staff members said they would coordinate on the process. When Wolf asked how a 100-watt lighting limit applied to non-illuminated signage in commercial areas, Huber explained that "this code is specific to residential zoning."
Wolf moved to recommend the package as presented; Scott Jacobs seconded. The motion passed by unanimous vote of members present (Stoner, Wolf, Jacobs); Steve Unwin and Mayor Valerie Mockus were absent.
The recommendation advances the redline packet to the next steps in the village's adoption process; the packet was presented for public review during the hearing.
