7. Union Pacific Railroad Property —chain link fences —code compliance
The town council has requested the town manager to bring the UPRR into code compliance.
The Planning Director is assisting with zoning and process. The Code Enforcement officer
will then work to bring UPRR into zoning compliance, i.e. leases. Part of this compliance is
if the town should require fencing. It is being asked of Planning Commission direction if
fencing should be a requirement.
Burke H. as a lease holder of the UPR property, stated that he doesn't like chain-link fences
and they don't look good. He showed concern on the area disorders, as he rents part of the
property for his business and clarified he would do anything it takes to preserve it.
Greg S. and Greg G. suggested to directly fine the RR owners for any violations, since they
own the property, they should address any issues with their tenants. They are responsible for
enforcing and ensuring their renters are complying with the regulations in town. They
recommended no fencing.
Planning D. stated Code Enforcement would be taking that direction.
Jeff A. suggested instead of chain fences to plant trees, of the same height as the fences would
be. As a condition of a special use permit, to contain the area with landscaping.
Lynn T. disagreed and said her property has already a chain-link fence and it is less
expensive, of low maintenance and you can see through it.
Direction is not to require fencing on the lease lots on UPRR.
