4/23/2026 Signed Minutes
Planning Commission Meeting · 2026-04-23 · minutes
The Planning Commission considered a variance request for a 6-foot-tall fence at 5968 Shady Creek Lane. The variance sought to allow the fence to be located less than 5 feet from a right-of-way, instead of being in line with the front plane of the house. The request was denied by a vote of 1-4. Public comment included opposition from HOA representatives and residents concerned about the fence and existing litigation regarding a rear fence. The City Attorney clarified that City code overrides HOA code. The applicant stated the fence was previously approved by the HOA and cited the need for family safety. The denial means the item will not go to Council unless appealed.
