Johns , City Clerk CITY OF FAIRHOPE CITY COUNCIL COVER SHEET October 11, 1999 ZC 99-10 Public Hearing to Consider Amending the Zoning Ordinance To Establish Regulations Governing Fences There have been several occasions in the recent past where fences and fence construction in the City have created some confusion and concern among citizens. Currently, the City has no guidelines for fences., Fences may be any height and constructed of any material. In order to protect private property values, the Planning Department has created some basic regulations governing fences. Basically the attached Ordinance spells out maximum fence heights and some rudimentary construction materials. The proposed Ordinance is attached for your review. The Planning Commission considered this at the September 7, 1999 meeting and recommended approval.
