Carroll City Council Approves Final Reading, Adopts Amended Fencing Materials Ordinance
The Carroll City Council formally adopted an ordinance amendment at its July 22 meeting that sets standards for permanent fence construction in city limits. The issue first came to the council’s attention last month after officials received complaints from residents about the use of wooden pallets as fencing materials. The adopted ordinance specifies that fences must be constructed using “traditional” materials with “a clean, finished appearance” and bars the use of pallets, scrap lumber, scrap metal, snow fencing, or any other materials not designed for fence construction. Fire Chief and Building Department Official Dan Hannasch says there has been little feedback from the public concerning this change.
