1. "The property owner to whom this permit is issued must contact Gopher State One Call (on-line or by calling 811) at least two business days before constructing their fence. All fence posts and other below -ground hardware must be hand -dug when digging within 2-feet either side of a marked underground utility." 2. "Continual access must be provided to all utilities throughout existing public drainage and utility (D&U) easements. Property owners on whose land the D&U easement exists will be responsible for all costs required to remove and replace the fencing as needed to provide access." 3. "By law, adverse possession may be claimed by property owners that maintain another person's property for a specified number of years. The permitted property owner must disclose this fact to any other private property owner whose land the fence will be installed on as a result of this permit. Any disagreement relating to the construction of the permitted fence on other private property must be settled as a civil matter. The City shall not be held liable for any resulting costs or legal ramifications resulting from the installation of the permitted fence." 4. "The City recommends that the owners of all real property on which the permitted fence will be constructed should enter into a written agreement clearly defining the rights and responsibilities of all parties prior to constructing the fence." Action: Motion to recommend a change in City policy allowing fences to be extended across property lines, contingent on the draft (building) fence permit language above being reviewed and approved by the City attorney and subsequently added to all (building) fence permits issued in the future.
