Zoning File #950 <br />August 13, 1985 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />Review the proposed amendment A. <br />S 10.22 <br />Subdivision 1, Lakeshore Set Back Regulations, <br />shoreline for lakeshore lots;The set back from the <br />A. Shall be 75 feet for all structures except that fences under 42" <br />may b.- permitted within that setback area. On lakeshore lots divided by a <br />ma^or thoroughfare the following struciures are permitted on the lakeshore <br />such lots within 75 feet of the lake and require a permit fromtne City: <br />1. lock boxes not to exceed 20 square feet in area and 48 inches in <br />height; and <br />2. fences not exceeding 72 inches but shall not exceed 42 inches <br />about the height of the crown of the intersecting road. <br />Staff contends your current code, in light of the intent of our <br />ordinances that govern the use of lakeshore properties, in no way allows a <br />fence in excess of 3-1/2 feet within 75 feet of the lake because of the <br />view problems and negative aesthetic results. Staff would hold that if a <br />1C qualifies for a privacy fence per Section 10.03, Subdivision <br />15 (C) that if the fence or section of the fence is located within 75 feet <br />of the lake the sections within 75 feet of the lake would not be allowed. <br />T .a- hcen in contact with the applicant for the past few months. <br />Individual staff members have been out to the site and in contact with the <br />applicant and all concur we have a severe hazard on our hands once that <br />access IS open for public use. The applicant contends he asked me prior to <br />a meeting if he could erect a privacy fence. I remember discussion of the <br />need for fencing to discourage trespassers and problems with the public <br />abuse of the access area. I still believe we can assist the applicant in <br />controlling these abuses of his private property. <br />Orono does not require permits for the installation of privacy fences <br />when allowed, but please be advised that when such a fence is to be located <br />along a County Road, staff inspects the site to assure there are no sight <br />problems or hazards. <br />appeals application and Planning Commission must determine <br />if the subject fence meets the intent and standards of amended Section <br />10.03, Subdivision 15 (C) - <br />a) Should this section be amended once again to provide greater <br />clarity? <br />b) Planning Commission may wish to discuss or amend proposed staff <br />amendment of Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 A —(2) you will be expected <br />to make a recommendation of approval or denial.
