Daniel and Allison Butler were looking for an exception to the fence ordinance to put a fence on their property without doing the 18” setback the ordinance requires. The ordinance doesn’t currently allow for exceptions, they were requesting the board change the ordinance to allow for exceptions. The board informed Daniel and Allison they would need to pay for all the meetings to have the ordinance changed as they are the ones petitioning it. Eric Fowle from Cedar Corp (Zoning Administrator) explained why it is not recommended to change the ordinance to allow exception to build on property lines. He noted other communities have setbacks and do not allow on fences on property lines. There are some communities that allow it on property lines but that is mostly in the bigger communities. At this time, no changes will be made to the fence ordinance. Allison Butler also informed the board the MBA and Magic are in discussion of potentially putting in benches around the village and redoing village signs.
