Resident granted fence and nonpermanent carport permits; taller fence allowed on dead-end street
Summary
Alba Higgins received council approval for a replacement fence (council noted a four-foot fence is acceptable on a dead-end street) and for a nonpermanent anchored carport at the rear of his property; Higgins said he would pay a reasonable variance fee if required.
The council approved building permits for resident Alba Higgins covering two items: replacement of an existing fence and a nonpermanent carport anchored to the ground at the rear of the property. Higgins explained the carport location and proximity to nearby buildings; because the property sits on a dead-end street, council members said a fence up to four feet would still comply with town code (the cited code baseline is 36 inches).
Alba Higgins also stated he would be willing to pay a variance fee "as long as it wasn't an outrageous amount." Councilman Kyle Vennes moved to approve the permit and Councilwoman Promise Miller seconded; the motion carried 4–0. The council treated the carport as nonpermanent and suitable under the current review.
