Residents demand full-length fence amid coyote concerns

In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around a proposed development project that has raised concerns among local residents regarding property boundaries, wildlife, and landscaping. A resident expressed a request for a full-length black chain link fence along the north property line to deter stray animals, particularly noting an increase in abandoned pets during the summer months. The resident also highlighted the presence of coyotes in the area, which has added to the urgency of the fencing request.

Another resident raised questions about tree removals and elevation changes related to the development. Concerns were voiced about the potential impact on neighboring properties, particularly regarding the height of a proposed retaining wall and the removal of trees along the property line. City officials clarified that any tree removal would require the landowner's permission, and a two-to-one replacement for any trees cut down is mandated by city code.

The developer confirmed plans to extend the fence as requested and indicated that they would coordinate with property owners to address any concerns about tree removals. The meeting concluded with a commitment to keep residents informed about construction timelines and potential impacts, ensuring that community voices are considered in the development process.
