The city council dates for that would be August 4th for public hearing and a first reading, and second reading would be on August 18th for this and all subsequent ordinances on the agenda.

Would anybody like to speak to this item?

Hi, I am Shannon Wallace. I live at 131 Cades Bluff, Lebanon, Tennessee 37087. I just got approved yesterday for my white vinyl fence by the Board of Zoning Appeals. What is on this list is a part of white vinyl fence material being potentially allowed in the future because a lot of HOAs require white vinyl fences in order to have a fence at all for your house. And so, don't know the full reasons why like it was denied like back in november of last year but um white vinyl fences are sturdy and easy to clean they are able to look nice and they last longer and like i said several neighborhoods in our city require white vinyl fences or if they have like options it's like white vinyl fence or like the iron um fences that aren't privacy fences you know so not very helpful for families with kids or dogs or cats or whatever so we just ask that you think about um allowing white vinyl fences okay thank you anybody else like to speak if not we'll bring it to the planning commission

Motion to approve.

Second. Motion to recommend it to city council. And that is seconded. All right. Any motions made and seconded for a positive recommendation to city council. Any discussion?

Discussion real quick. I don't know if it's Josh or Kristen. Just talk a little bit about the difference between prohibited vinyl and accepted vinyl relative to this lady's question.

Yeah, so she is correct in the zoning code update back in November. Vinyl was removed as a permitted fence material citywide. This is part of this ordinance that would put it back. It would be vinyl PVC fences. It says a high quality vinyl PVC would be permitted in residential zones and on lots used for single family or two family dwellings. provided it's a neutral color being white, tan, or clay and is strictly reinforced. So this would address the concern that she brought up as we have had that come up in a number of developments where that is one of the only options that they can allow by those HOAs. So we're trying to put that back in to avoid them all having to go to the border zoning appeals like she did.

Perfect. Thank you.

Discussion? If not, all in favor of the motion for a positive recommendation of city council say aye.

Aye.

All opposed? Motion passes. New business item number two.

New business item number two is a request by staff for a zoning code amendment approval to change Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 3, residential zoning district accessory building tables. And that's subsections A through I. And also Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 4, A and B. Also the accessory building tables there. And also chapter five, section three, supplemental bulk regulations for accessory buildings to establish uniform standards for accessory buildings in the new code. Each district had their own standards laid out for accessory structures and ADUs. They were different and they've become kind of cumbersome to administer. So this is trying to remove that confusion, provide a uniform standard citywide for those and clarify how ADUs fit into that list of standards. And this is a recommendation to city council.

I'd like to speak to this item.

Motion to approve.

Second. You mean a positive recommendation to the city council?

Yes, sir. To you. Thank you for helping me.

Motion to be made and seconded for a positive recommendation to the city council. Any discussion? If not, all in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed? All right. That motion passes. Any staff comments? We're adjourned.

Thank you.

Exactly. Not my department. Good. Absolutely.

Nothing gives you more nothing.

I love the way you think. Would you like a well-worked pen to take with you? Exactly. Write those prescriptions. Now, they are...

No, I know what he's talking about.
