Notable Quotes (3)

Tonight, the planning Commission is asked to, in their capacity as the Board of Zoning Appeals, take action for a variance request to allow a six foot fence in a front yard at 5530 Golden Valley Road.

— Ms. Kramer
Variance RequestIntroducing the variance request.

Those sound walls are ugly as sin.

— Chair
Noise mitigation/Sound wallsCommenting on highway noise barriers during deliberation.

If this application had come in, you know, next year, would it still need a variance? And the answer is actually yes, because our proposed changes to our fence code will determine the front yard based on where the property is addressed.

— Ms. Kramer
Fence Code UpdateExplaining the upcoming fence code updates.
