Fencing Materials Ordinance And Parking Lot Resurfacing On Carroll City Council’s Agenda For Monday
The Carroll City Council has a routine agenda for its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday evening. The council convenes at 5:15 p.m. at Carroll City Hall. Their first item of business will be to consider the second reading of a zoning change in the Highland Park Addition for a private housing project. City officials will also consider the first reading of a new ordinance outlining acceptable building materials for permanent fencing in town. The topic was first introduced during the June 24 meeting after staff received multiple complaints about pallet fences, but it was tabled after the council wanted more specific language about what will and will not be allowed. Other items on Monday’s agenda include setting a public hearing date on a proposed development agreement with Ziegler Caterpillar for their planned site on the east side of Carroll and a cost estimate for resurfacing the Great Western parking lot near downtown. The meeting on Monday, July 8, is open to the public and will be live-streamed via the city’s YouTube channel.
