Commission recommends waiver for Chinden Boulevard fence after homeowner testimony
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit/waiver allowing a concrete rhino‑rock fence on a Banbury subdivision lot along Chinden Boulevard; applicant Julie McConnell said similar fences exist and homeowners covered costs when ITD widened the road.
Julie McConnell requested a waiver of Eagle City code to permit a concrete rhino‑rock fence on her Banbury subdivision lot adjacent to Chinden Boulevard, saying the design matches other nearby conditional use permits already built on adjacent properties. “These are all exclusively at our own expense on our own property,” McConnell told the commission, describing how neighbors addressed increased noise and visibility after the highway widening.
Staff confirmed the request and no members of the public spoke in opposition. Commissioners asked for the subdivision name and clarified that some neighboring properties are roughly one‑acre lots; the commission voted to recommend approval of the CUP/waiver. The recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action.
