[Ord. 5508, passed 4-13-1955]
(a) Construction within fire zones shall be regulated by the provisions
of Section 400 of the National Building Code and this section.
(b) Whenever any property owner desires to erect a fence within the City,
in a Primary Fire Zone, he may make special application to Council
for a revocable permit to erect the same, using wood or other combustible
materials, stating the facts concerning the need therefor and the
reasons why such a fence cannot be conveniently or practically erected
of all noncombustible materials. He shall file with his application
a plan or map showing in detail the location and construction of the
desired fence. Upon receiving such an application, Council may set
a time for a view of the premises involved and for hearing on the
application. If after such view and hearing, Council determines that
such a fence would not constitute a fire hazard or be in any way a
public nuisance, and that the erection of the same will be conducive
to the safety and general welfare of the City, Council may by resolution
grant a special permit to the applicant for the erection of such a
fence, prescribing in the resolution all of the conditions relating
thereto and the amount of the initial and annual fees which shall
be paid to the City Treasurer by the applicant to cover the cost of
inspecting and overseeing the maintenance of such a fence. Council
may require public notice to be given of the view and hearing to be
had concerning such an application.
