Planning Board considers allowing side-street fences on corner lots
Summary
The River Bend Planning Board discussed a proposed change to the town’s fence ordinance to permit fences on side streets at corner lots; the conversation was introduced during the Nov. 6 planning meeting and details were not completed in the transcript.
Councilman Sheffield reported that the River Bend Planning Board met Nov. 6 with a quorum present and that Chairman Lippert called the meeting to order. Attendees applauded the return of Brandon Mills as the town’s Public Works director.
Sheffield said the first item for discussion was a proposed change to the town’s fence ordinance to allow fences on side streets at corner lots. The transcript breaks off before a detailed record of that discussion; no vote or recommendation to council is recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
Why it matters: Changes to the fence ordinance could affect property owners’ options, sight lines and neighborhood character; any ordinance amendment would require further review and possible action by the council.
What’s next: The transcript does not specify whether the planning board took action or forwarded a recommendation to the council.
