STAFF REPORT <br /> Application: Ordinance Amendment to Permit Fences in DMU,UP,and C zones <br /> Applicant: City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Background Information: The previous Land Use Ordinance required a permit for fences in <br /> all zones,but the new Ordinance does not require permits for fences in any zones. The recently <br /> adopted Ordinance does contain performance standards for fences in several zones, but fences <br /> are listed as "Allowed without a permit" in every zone except for Water Resources, where they <br /> are excluded. <br /> In order to better manage the placement of fences and to ensure that performance standards are <br /> being met,the Staff feels that the Ordinance should be amended to require a permit for fences in <br /> the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zone, the Urban Residential (UR) zone, and the Commercial <br /> (C) zone. Although performance standards are listed for several zones, the Staff feels that, it is <br /> particularly important to ensure that performance standards are being followed in these three <br /> zones because of the density and proximity of people and structures in these zones. <br /> City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report 10-1 <br /> September 15,2005 <br />
