Council advances three code amendments on fences and sewer definitions and charges
Summary
Council conducted first readings for three ordinances: updating fence-height rules near intersections, defining 'connection' and 'dwelling unit' in the sanitary‑sewer code, and adding multifamily residential classification for sewer service charges. Council waived additional readings and moved the ordinances forward procedurally.
Council held the first readings of three ordinances affecting zoning and sewer code. Ordinance 7 would amend City Code chapter 165.1 to increase fence-height allowances within a 25‑foot intersection setback and clarify a corner-lot diagram. Ordinance 8 would amend chapter 95 to define 'connection' and 'dwelling unit' for sanitary‑sewer administration. Ordinance 9 would add a multifamily residential classification for sewer service charges under chapter 99.
Council and staff discussed the draft language and then procedurally waived second and third readings where appropriate to proceed; no substantive changes were adopted at this meeting beyond the recorded readings. A council member described the sewer items as "the same stuff we've been discussing for a bit," noting the items reflect prior council work on utility definitions.
