Planning Commission <br />The Planning Commission did not have any questions or comments and recommend no changes to the <br />ordinance by a 7 -0 vote. <br />After the meeting, Councilmember Burandt expressed concern about compliance with state statute. Ms. <br />Burandt requests this item be tabled, to be discussed at a future workshop. <br />The city regulates fencing and agricultural uses separately. A fence is permitted on the property line <br />(boundary fence) in all districts. Additionally, barbed wire, barbless wire, and electric fences are permitted <br />in the R -1a and A -1 (Agricultural Conservation) zoning districts as a boundary fence. Boundary fences are <br />not a requirement in any zoning district and fences six feet tall or less may be constructed without a <br />permit. <br />Separately, ordinance regulates the keeping of agricultural animals with a setback in all R -1 (Single Family) <br />zoning districts. The current ordinance prohibits the keeping of agricultural animals within five feet of the <br />property line in the R -1a zoning district, and within 100 feet in the R -1b, R -1c, and R -1d districts. How <br />the setback is established is not specified. <br />Public Hearing <br />No one spoke during the public hearing <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Attachments <br />■ Planning Commission Staff Report dated November 25, 2014 <br />N: \Public Bodies \Agenda Packets \12 -15- 2014 \Fina1\x7.5 sr Ag.
