She believed the input of the Planning <br />Commission would be beneficial because this is a land use issue. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau appreciated that the two residents were willing to, participate in <br />mediation to find a resolution and also believed there would be benefit gained by having the <br />Planning Commission review the item further. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he would like to see this item addressed but believed that the <br />current Ordinance applies to most all situations and should not be changed dramatically. <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember LeTourneau, to direct staff and <br />the Planning Commission to develop an isolated flexible fix for this situation within the <br />Ordinance to amend City Code related to the construction of fences without making major <br />changes to the Ordinance. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Kuzma hoped that a resolution could be found and <br />recognized the right of the property owner to construct a fence on their property. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Riley, LeTourneau, Johns, <br />Kuzma, Shryock, and Williams.
