MINUTES 3 . TEXT AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO . TA-86-2 (FENCE REGULATIONS) OF THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION to amend the Planning Title of San Joaquin County to modify fence regula- tions in the agricultural and residential zones. Applicable Countywide . Tom Walker , Deputy Walker, introduced the staff report into the record. Comm. Morri said he did not agree with the restriction of having a six-foot-high limitation on rear fences on properties less than 20 acres . Seven feet should be permitted. Frank Bruno, Deputy County Counsel , noted that in Section 1 of the Ordinance , " . . . connected by should read " ,r• constructed of . . . . .. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: Mr. H. E. Parrish, of Linden, asked if the three-foot-high fence <<` requirement at the corners applied to barbed wire or chain link fence . Tom Walker said that would be considered an open fence and could be six-feet high. Bill Morgan, representing Morada Homeowners Association, said that back on July 31 , 1986 , it was stated that everyone at the meeting would be notified when a public hearing was to be held. He said-not everyone was notified of this hearing. He said that he is concerned about the 10-foot setback for gates. He said he has a gate on the property line , and he can pull his car out to close the gate without creating a hazard. He said the 10-foot setback would provide people with a public turn-around spot , and this would create more of a problem. Comm. Gillispie said it depends on where the edge of pavement of the travelled way is located in relation to the right-of-way. Tom Walker said a possible problem is that we are only requiring a 10-foot setback for six-foot-high fences. You can have a three-foot-high fence , and there is no requirement for a 10-foot setback. We should make that requirement consistent . It should be a 10-foot setback for all gates. Comm. Gillispie said the gate setback should be 16 feet from the edge of the travelled way or the right-of-way line, whichever comes first . We could create a hardship for some people where there is a large right-of-way and a narrow road. MINUTES FOR TA-86-2 -2- (PC : 8-20-87)
