Gaffron, Asst Planning 6 Zoning Administrator December 29# 1988 Pillars# Entry Monuments and Gateways Per Council's dire^.^on in November# we have reviewed the currently existing codes pertaining to entryway pillars# monuments and gateways. There are three general cases where such structures are occasionally requested# namely: 1. At the entrance to a public street - new or old subdivision. 2. At the entrance to a private road - new or old subdivision. 3. At a private driveway entrance serving 1-3 persons. Related to these three general cases are four general items that often become a concern. These are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Pillars and monuments. Gates. Signage. Lighting. The code sections dealing with fences a'^d walls are: Section 1C.03, Subdivision 15 (O# the "non-encroachment" section# which generally states that "fences . . . are allowed up to 3*j* high in any yard • . . and up to 6* high on lakeshore lots along major thoroughfares." (This is further restricted by Section 10.22# Subdivision 1 which generally would disallow any structure within 75* of the lake.) Section 10.03# Subdivision IS (D) allows "fences and walls. . .up to a height of 6* above original grade. . . but no fence or wall higher than 42" can encroach lakeward from the average lakeshore setback*# and also again states that fences cannot be constructed within the 75* lakeshore setback. Section 10.03# Subdivision 15 (B) generally •ares that accessory structures can be located as close as 5* to a rear lot line# but that fences and walls may not exceed 6* in height in a rear yard. Section 10.03# Subdiv ision 15 (F) states that a 10' setback is *«qulred for a 1 i acceiTsory sFructures In a side yard and no fence or all constructed within a side yard may exceed in height.
