3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chair Rotty opened all public hearings
3.1 Zoning Ordinance Amendments to Title 10, Chapters2 and 6 of the
Farmington City Code- Planning Coordinator Johnson presented the proposed
amendments to the commission. The changes include:
1. Adding utility trailers to the recreational vehicle parking section, requiring
them to be parked on a hard surface.
2. Adding a definition for utility trailers.
3. Removing the requirement that a site plan or legal survey showing a
proposed fence must be submitted to the building inspection division.
4. Adding language prohibiting electric fences on residential lots.
Chair Rotty opened the discussion up to questions. Chair Rotty questioned what
happens if fencing is not on correct property or over property line. Planning
Coordinator Johnson shared that city has decided to let it be a private matter as
permits are not generally required for fencing, therefore, requesting the removal
of the survey or site plan be submitted.
Chair Rotty questioned if we expect any pushback from residents regarding
parking trailers. Planning Manager Wippler stated we are already addressing the
issues pertaining to parking utility trailers, and we are updating the code to
reflect how they are currently being addressed.
