Council approves first reading to raise public-zone fence height from 8 to 10 feet
Summary
The council approved first reading of Ordinance O-04-2024 to increase the maximum permitted fence height in the Public (P) zoning district from 8 feet to 10 feet, primarily to allow replacement fencing at public tennis courts; vote was 5-0.
Mr. Lohman read Ordinance O-04-2024, which amends Chapter 23 (Zoning) to change the maximum permitted fence height in the Public P zoning district from 8 feet to 10 feet. Staff and council members said the change is intended to accommodate replacement of fencing at public tennis courts and to address security or operational needs at town facilities.
Councilmember Mason moved to approve the ordinance on first reading; Councilmember Castle seconded and the motion carried 5-0 with no public comment. Staff noted the change applies primarily to town-owned properties in the public zoning district rather than private parcels and is a code housekeeping measure to avoid future noncompliance when replacing athletic fencing.
Council discussion emphasized the ordinance was prompted by a single facility replacement and is not a broad change to other zoning districts.
