Bee Garmon said that Bruce Frazier came late to the meeting, but was listed as being absent. She also suggested that Chairman Wilson be inserted as the person showing the slide show, as well as inserted in place of the word "He." Subject to the corrections, a Motion to approve the minutes was made by Bee Gannon and seconded by Jim Lassister. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Discussion of and possible action on recommending the adoption of fencing regulations. Chairman Wilson referred the Committee to the proposed Fencing Ordinance and asked Lisa Wright to display the slides depicting various fencing throughout the city. The slides reflected fences constructed of chain link, pvc, barbed wire, chicken wire, fencing in front yards, fences built out of different types of material and placed together (hodgepodge), and illegal fencing, which consisted of fences over 40" in height. Chairman Wilson inquired of the Committee if they wanted to proceed with a fencing ordinance and it was a consensus of the Committee to do so. Chairman Wilson also inquired of the citizens in attendance if they thought it was necessary to have a fencing ordinance. John Fuston commented that after reviewing the slides, he thought it was necessary to have a fencing ordinance. Kent McIlyar and Lisa Wright expressed concern over disallowance of picket fences in the Historic District. Cheryt Moore said she was concerned about telling someone they could not have chain link fence over 40" that was well maintained. Chairman Wilson questioned how they could grandfather chain link fences that were less than 40" in height but not 48" and 60" height fences. Lisa Wright informed the Committee that the fencing ordinance was adopted in the 1970s; however, she added that it had been difficult to monitor when fences were installed, because the City did not and does not require a permit. Mrs. Rita Kammer, a citizen, stated she did not like the ideal of paying taxes and not having the right to building a little white fence in her front yard. Cheryt Moore said she understood; however, there needed to regulations, because everyone had a different opinion as to what was or wasn't an eyesore. Council Member Biard suggested they might allow fencing in the front yard, but regulate the height and material. Ms. Moore and Ms. Bellevance both stated they did not like any type of fencing in front yards. While working with another city, Kent McIlyar pointed out that citizens became very upset when they were told they had to remove fencing from their front yards. Lisa Wright added they would have to prove in Court when the fence was built, and that would be nearly impossible to do. Council Member Biard suggested they consider not taking action against fences built in the past, but set regulations for any fences to be built in the future. There was additional discussion concerning residential fencing and the possibility of requiring a permit before building a fence, whether or not to allow fencing in front yards, various types of fencing materials, and grandfathering fences. It was a consensus of the Committee to make the following changes: General standards for fencing and other screening. (a)(4) Barbed wire fences shall be permitted only in L1 districts, H 1 districts, and agricultural
