COMMUNICATIONS: C.J. Rabideau (November 12, 1964), Re: Fence Ordinance "I respectfully request that the Pasco.City Council amend the fencing ordinance to allow the Planning Commission to grant a variance, under proper conditions, for erection of front yard fences up to a maximum height of 72". At present, the ordinance permits a 72" maximum height on side fences which are within the minimum front yard area, but only allows a 42" maximum on front fences within the minimum front yard area. It would seem that the Planning Commission should be allowed the same power with regard to the front fences, as with the sides. These heights are those interrior of the side lot lines, and the front lot lines. This request is made for permission in R-2 Zones, at least." Motion made by Robinson, seconded by Stork to turn this matter to a workshop meeting for further investigation and study for recommendation at the next Council Meeting.
