Planning Board elects officers, directs draft of corner-lot fence ordinance
Summary
The River Bend Planning Board elected Egon Lippert chairman, Bob Kohn vice chairman and Allison McCollum secretary and directed town staff to draft an ordinance permitting fences on corner properties to face a street other than the property's address street.
At its Oct. 2 meeting, the River Bend Planning Board elected Egon Lippert as chairman, Bob Kohn as vice chairman and Allison McCollum as secretary, the council reported during the Oct. 16 Town Council regular session.
Councilman Sheffield summarized the board's discussion and said the board also directed town staff to draft an amendment to the town's fencing ordinance to allow fences on corner properties to face a street other than the one listed on the property's official address. The action was a directive to staff to prepare draft language for future consideration; the council minutes do not show the council or the Planning Board adopting ordinance text on Oct. 2.
Assistant zoning manager Allison McCollum flagged a potential conflict in the updated draft of the town's Comprehensive Plan during the Planning Board review and asked the board to consider the inconsistency; the board requested staff follow-up. The minutes do not specify the nature of the conflict or a timeline for the follow-up.
The Planning Board's next steps, per the minutes, are for staff to prepare the fence-ordinance draft and to address the Comprehensive Plan conflict at a future meeting.
