Ord. #964 - Discussion and possible action to amend Chapter 6 of the Code to permit Council to approve optional designs of walls separating business from residential property. First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED with changes on first reading. Attorney Birken read the Ordinance by title and said this Ordinance was drafted at the request of Council after Mr. Eden appeared some time ago and he suggested that at the shopping center which he is developing it would be more appropriate to have a louvered type fence as opposed to a solid, 6 foot masonry fence. Attorney Birken said some members of Council have some problems with certain portions of this Ordinance.and some of the items brought forth through discussions with Council members were to have provisions concerning mandatory mainten- ance of fences which he feels would be justified and would allow Council to place a lien on the property if the fences were not maintained in the proper manner. Attorney Birken said other suggested changes would be to allow an optional design only when consented to not only by the property owner but by all adjacent property owners in writing in advance which, in fact, is the case with Mr. Eden's proposed fence. Mr. Birken said it was also suggested that some of the districts where this type of situation would be permitted under the terms of the pro- posed ordinance would be inappropriate. For instance, B-3 and possibly B-2 would be inappropriate to permit any sort of optional fence. He said he can make the changes desired by Council between first and second readings of the Ordinance. Mayor Falck said Mr. Eden brought in a petition signed by several people who want this type of fence and he feels this should be granted for them. He said the Council did, in his opinion, make a commitment that they were interested in doing this type of thing there. C/M Disraelly said he feels they were remiss in not providing this in B-5 and B-6 because they are permitted in B-1. He said he would hate to see an optional design especially in a B-3 zone and said he would like to strike B-3 from this Ordinance. V/M Massaro said she agrees that B-3 should be eliminated and she has strong reservations about B-2. She said she would like Mr. Birken to write into this Ordinance a paragraph that would give the City the power to require them to repair or replace any broken parts of that fence. She said she would like to see written into the Ordinance that failure to correct this would allow the City to go in, repair it and charge them back and failure to pay the bill would automatically put a lien on the property. Tape C/M Disraelly MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #964 where in Line 22, B-3 2 is struck and that the City Attorney be empowered to rewrite this to require broken parts of fences be repaired or replaced and failure to do so would cause a lien to be placed on the property. SECONDED by V/M Massaro. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE - 4 - 3/16/82 /pm MAYOR FALCK ADJOURNED THE MEETING AT 3:00 P.M.
