Briarcliff council amends fence resolution after resident paints fence bright pink
Summary
Council voted to amend Fence Resolution 2023-10-25-09 to require applicants to state fence color and allow denial if the chosen color is deemed a nuisance; the change was prompted by a resident painting a fence bright pink, the minutes say.
The Village of Briarcliff council moved on March 26 to amend its Fence Resolution 2023-10-25-09, requiring fence applicants to disclose the color they plan to use and permitting denial if the color is considered a nuisance. Alderman Charlesworth made the motion and Alderman Johnston seconded; the minutes record the motion passed with all in favor.
Mayor Hostetler explained the change was prompted by a resident who "has painted their fence bright pink," and council said it will request color information from applicants and deny colors judged to constitute a nuisance. The minutes do not record a formal process for defining "nuisance" colors or an appeals procedure; staff follow-up was implied but not specified at the meeting.
