Purpose & Explanation
Per Codified Ordinance 230.05, private improvements within the right-of-way require Council authorization. City Manager authorization per 230.05 is limited to improvements within easements.
The property owner at 374 N Main Street has requested to install a decorative wood picket fence in the front yard of their property. The proposed fence is located within the City’s public right-of-way. The proposed fence would be at the same setback and of compatible design to multiple adjacent properties on North Main Street. After applying for a fence permit from the City, the property owner was informed by the CD Department that they needed a license agreement from the City to allow a fence to be placed within the City’s public right-of-way. This resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter into a license agreement with Suzanne Morgan to allow the installation of a fence on N. Main Street in the Historic District. The proposed fence received design approval from the Architectural & Historic Board of Review on August 26, 2020.
