Amendments are intended to be minor in nature and are part of an annual review meant to clarify confusing or conflicting land use regulations and correct obvious errors. A proposal to increase permitted fence height and to permit the division of properties (short plat) that abut on improved streets not necessarily dedicated to the City are changes in regulations rather than clarification of existing language Chair Reiss opened the public hearing.
