City
Ordinance Adopted As Amended on Second Reading
Amending Section 2-1 and 2-2 of the Code of the
City of Fort Collins
City Attorney March stated the ordinance had received quite a bit of publicity
and it should be noted that the Council is proposing to pass this ordinance
and did on first reading on the basis of their political determination that
it is In the best interest of the City, and not on the basis of any recommenda-
tion by his office as City Attorney. Also, he has provided an opinion that
executive sessions have played a part in this city now and in the past. He
has been advised by other cities that they also hold executive sessions and,
deem it essential to do so, Nh . March stated further that he has had contact
with the Attorney General's Office and has discussed this ordinance with thorn;
lie should report: to the Council that it is their feeling that the manner
'Aid, An City Council holds its meetings, particularly with. regard to open
versus executive sessions is of state-wide concern and that they feel that the
ordinance which is proposed is broader than that which is permitted under the
state law, therefore, they have serious questions as to whether the ordinance
is valid.
City Attorney D1<airch advised the Council. that the opinion of the Attorney General
is just that --an opinion of another attorney, and not binding on the City.
This question has not been decided by the Courts and the only way that it
can be decided as to what is permitted in the field is to have a court decision.
In his discussion with the Attorney General's office, Mr. March stated they
have tentatively agreed and indicated that they may be willing to bring a
declaritory judgement action for the purpose of testing this ordinance and
would be a desirable action to get an answer to this question. Finally,
Councilman Wilkinson had contacted him and had requested that he prepare a
' revision to Section 2-213 of the ordinance for the purpose of eliminating the
open-end provision which would have allowed the Council to go into executive
session for other purposes than those specifically listed.
361
Mr. Gerald Sharpnack of the Col.oradoan inquired into the proposition of 1
referendum versus Council action.
City Clerk, Verna Lewis read the proposed amendment into the record as
follows:
AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2-2B
Amend Section 2-2B, Ordinance No. 781 1975, to read as follows:
A. Executive —Sessions. The Council, by majority

Review of Possible Revision of the Zoning Ordinance
to Approve Fences in the Required Front Yard Setback
Following is the memorandum from the Planning Office regarding this subject:
Background:
At the August 26th City Council Work Session, blrs. Opal Sondburg of 120 South
Grant- complained of the problem of fences being constructed in front yards.
According to Mrs. Sondburg, the fences, used primarily for animal control
purposes, detracted from the visual character of older residential neighbor-
hoods in town. Her request to prohibit fences in the front yard setback
through a revision of the existing zoning ordinance on fences was congidered
by the Planning and Zoning Board at its November 3 meeting.
Discussion:
The incidence of fences in the front yard setback was not felt to be or
potentially to be of such magnitude as to justify uniform prohibition of fences
in residential. areas. The Board felt that to prohibit all. fences would be to
deluge the Zoning Board of Appeals with variance requests. Also, the problem
with :fences if often a matter of individual design and that more stringent
regulations concerning construction materials and design would help to alle-
viate Luis ightli.ness in many instances.
Plannning and Zoning Board Recoirmiendation:
The Board's recommendation :is not to prohibit fences in the required front yard
setback at this time but to consider revisions in the ordinance which would
help assure less visually offensive fence construction.
Councilwoman Reeves stated she felt something could be done in the choice of
materials.
Mrs. Opal Sondburg, 120 South Grant, presented the billowing petition, containing
59 signatures:

and that front yard fences are allowed uniformly across the city.
