Commission to revisit fence code after inspectors flag boundary issues
Summary
Inspectors reported problems with fences sited on or over lot lines; the commission agreed to examine fence-code language, consider requiring surveys, and return the item for further review.
Commissioners discussed preliminary concerns raised by inspectors about boundary and privacy fences potentially being installed on or over lot lines. Staff advised the commission to take a closer look at the fence section of the code and suggested possible additions such as requiring surveys to establish lot lines before permit issuance.
One commissioner noted inspectors had flagged issues and recommended that boundary/privacy fences remain eligible for permits but go through full review. The commission agreed to examine the draft code and brought no final action; staff will return with language for further consideration at a subsequent meeting.
No formal vote or ordinance referral occurred; the item was treated as preliminary direction to staff.
