Items Removed from the Consent Agenda
8. Memo from Laurie Adams, City Assessor, regarding revision to Obsolete Property
Rehabilitation Act (OPRA) Policy No. P07-02.
Laurie Adams, City Assessor, stated that prior to this revision it was required that three or more
employees be added. It was determined that a lot of the businesses downtown barely had three
employees, let alone adding any new; therefore, looked at retaining employees as well as adding.
This was accomplished with a sliding scale enabling more of the downtown district to be
eligible.
Council Action: Motion by Councilmember Miller seconded by Councilmember Huntley to
adopt Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act (OPRA) Policy No. P07-02. Motion carried (a copy
of the policy attached to the minutes as Addendum D).
10. Memo from Dave Sattler, DMS/Recreation Director, regarding Northshore Park property.
The Recreation Board recommended the 6.5 acres of land abutting Cemetery Lake and
Northshore Drive (purchased by the City in August of 2006) be incorporated into the City’s park
system. The Recreation Board had numerous meetings with the local residents offering their
opinions regarding development of the property. Suggestions and concerns were addressed at
that time. Improvements will only take place if the budget allows and will have to be approved
by Council.
Council/Staff Discussion:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The property does not have to be designated as part of the park system at this time, but
can still be used exclusively for a park.
By not including in the park system the City would not be eligible for any grants that
would become available through the State.
If the property is held for purposes of speculation it would have to be put back on the tax
roll.
Keeping the City’s options open and develop it as a non-intense park and if grants
become available, then place it in the park system.
Once the park is in the system it would take a vote of the citizens to remove it, unless the
park is not a part of any master plan.
The intent, when purchasing the property, was to develop it as a park for all of the
residents of Coldwater.
Improvements that would be made within the next two years – restrooms, picnic pavilion
and parking areas.
Council Action: Motion by Councilmember Rice seconded by Councilmember Miller to
approve to incorporate the 6.5 acres of land abutting Cemetery Lake and Northshore Drive
(previously purchased by the City) as part of the City’s park system.

Tree Removal (144 W. Chicago Street)
February 26, 2007
Page 5
Dave Sattler, DMS/Recreation Director, stated that trees in the State right-of-way are controlled
by the State and the tree that was removed from Dr. Rubley’s yard was in that right-of-way. If
there are trees that are in question, the State is brought in for consultation and a final
determination is made by the State. This tree was determined by the State to have damage at the
base of the tree and was ordered to be cut down. There were 5-6 trees in the US 12 corridor that
were evaluated by the State at the same time. Following discussion of the appeals process it was
the consensus of Council when there are trees scheduled to be cut down that the City issue a
notification to those residents.
Mailbox Policy
Sixteen residents of the Bishop/Western Avenue area had contacted Councilmember Petzko of
the damage to their mailboxes during the last snow fall. Councilmember Petzko inquired as to if
there is any action or compensation for those residents. The Mailbox Policy states that if the
determination can be made that the mailbox was damaged due to the snow plow striking it, the
mailbox would be replaced by the City. If damaged by just the force of the snow, the City does
not have the obligation to replace the mailbox. The question was also raised regarding the
delivery of door-to-door mail for certain areas and not others. Staff will review further the
incident. Mayor Wallace would like to see implemented a published set of guidelines for the
proper installation and recommended materials for mailboxes.
Adjournment
Noting no other business to come before this Council, Mayor Gene Wallace adjourned the
meeting.

29,400 square foot salt storage building at their facility located at 23 E. Garfield
Avenue.
Trent Arver, representing the Branch County Road Commission, addressed the Planning
Commission and asked for a slight change in the site plan. They would like the north salt
storage building shifted 11.5 feet to the east. Mr. Arver said this would alleviate some fire

requirements.

Discussion on draft fence ordinance revision
City Planner Hilton stated that items discussed at the January meeting have been revised on the
draft fence ordinance, and those areas that were changed have been underlined.
For side and rear yard fencing in the C2 Central Business District, City Planner Hilton’s
recommendation would be that the Commission limit the fence height to four feet and applicants
wanting a taller fence would have to apply for a variance from the ZBA. The revision still
maintains that chain link fences are prohibited in front yards.
Planning Commission discussed the following issues:
•
•
•
Beautification of a neighborhood; chain link fences have an undesirable look.
Cost factors between chain link and decorative fences.
Covenants that override Planning Commissions (i.e. schools).

prohibit the use of chain link in front yards.

Barb Rosene, Director of the Downtown Development Authority spoke regarding the fencing in

is decorative in nature.

question are sent two letters and are given ten days each to comply. Tickets are also issued and

NEW BUSINESS
1.
A request by the Coldwater Downtown Development Authority to review the proposed
Coldwater Downtown Local Historic District Committee Report for discussion and
input.
Barb Rosene, Director of the Downtown Development Authority spoke about the five National
Historic Districts in the City of Coldwater. They had originally wanted to work on the
preservation of all five at once, but have decided to start with the downtown first.
City Planner Hilton added that the State Historic Preservation Office has very thorough
guidelines for establishing local historic districts and improvement processes.
Director Rosene stated that history and heritage are very important to a city, but we lose them if
they are not preserved. Designation to a national historic district does not protect historic
buildings, but local district designation would provide tax incentives for those properties
receiving improvements (20% state tax credit and a 5% local tax credit). This will be for
business and residential areas.
City Planner Hilton said the purpose of this report is to promote awareness of this effort and to
launch the remainder of the process, which will include a public hearing and draft historic
preservation ordinance. She also stated that a public hearing will be set at the March meeting for
the April meeting and a draft ordinance must be presented within one year of the public hearing.
She informed the Commission that they would see this item for the next few months.
February 6, 2007

Commission Action: No formal action required.
Entrance Signs
Chairman Miller said the City of Coldwater entrance signs were very attractive and the
landscaping looked great.
City Planner Hilton noted the Coldwater Garden Club has contacted her and they are interested
in taking care of the landscaping on the east and west signs.
Commissioner Swain noted that the lighting on the east sign shines through to the highway and
creates a glare.
Single Family Development North of Home Depot
Commission Cohen asked about the Home Depot parcel. City Planner Hilton said she received
correspondence from the original developer of the parcel and they have re-acquired the single
family residential property to the north, and are actively trying to find a developer for that
subdivision.
Site Plan for Mosque
The Site Plan for the Coldwater Mosque has expired per City Planner Hilton and according to
City Manager Stewart; they have pursued another alternative.
ADJOURNMENT
Noting no other business to come before this Commission, Chairman Miller adjourned the
meeting.

RE:
City Manager’s Report
Michigan Municipal League President Vicki Barnett offered and I am pleased to accept
an appointment to the MML Legislative Governance Committee. At my final meeting as
a Board of Trustee member in Marquette last fall, we took action to consolidate the
committee structure and to hold meetings twice each year – once during the Legislative
Conference and during the annual convention.
The policies to be reviewed prior to this year’s Legislative Conference include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Land Use
Economic Development
Transportation Infrastructure
Water Infrastructure and Environment
Technology and Rights of Way
Elections
Judicial
Municipal Finance
Public Safety
***
Mums the word in Lansing as the parties try to sort out the political and practical
solutions to address the state’s burgeoning budget crisis. The senate continues to
promote the idea that this year’s budget can be balanced with cuts, but no plan has been
released to the public. The governor’s initial attempts to promote the service tax have
met with a dose of skepticism. There are meetings ongoing in what used to be “smoke
filled rooms” in an attempt to hammer out an agreement that can be accepted by house
and senate leaders. It is expected there will be some progress prior to the April recess.
The longer it takes, the more difficult the decision becomes to fill the gap estimated at $3
billion over the next two fiscal years.
***
2
The Girard Township fire agreement expires at the end of June. We have held
preliminary discussions with the supervisor regarding provisions for renewal. The City
provides fire protection services to Girard and Coldwater Townships.
***
The Asama expansion is moving forward with much of the underground utility work
completed. Discussions are continuing with the BPU regarding electric service. We
have also received plans for a Hampton Inn to be located on Willowbrook Road. The site
plan will be reviewed in April, and construction is set to begin this spring. We have also
received a concept to redevelop the 600 West Chicago Street property.
***
The RAP for the Marmon property is scheduled to be presented to the Department of
Environmental Quality this month by its consultant. The results and the negotiations
between the company and City and its consultants will define what the City will be
allowed to do during rehabilitation.
***
There is no additional information to report regarding the spa/fitness center proposed on
Willowbrook Road. The contacts between the City staff and the developer have been
minimal.

Re:
Ordinance 711 - Planning Commission Ordinance Amendment Recommendation
Attached find proposed Ordinance No. 711. The Coldwater Planning Commission, at its meeting on
Tuesday March 6, 2007, approved a recommendation to the City Council to amend Chapter 1299.10
“Fences” of the Zoning Ordinance.
The current fencing regulations, four complete sentences, were adopted as part of the original zoning
ordinance in 1961, and limit the height of fencing for residential properties at six feet in height, or four
feet if located in the front of the front building line. These are the only height restrictions in the zoning
ordinance relative to fencing - as long as it is not adjacent to residential properties, a commercial use
may construct a fence of any height and construct it directly on the property line. The existing
ordinance also has provisions for fence location along the right-of-way, as well as a requirement to
keep livestock contained.
In 2002 the zoning ordinance was amended to allow fencing in the downtown by special use permit
only. The objective of this amendment was to preserve the unique atmosphere and characteristics of
the downtown, while recognizing that there are particular instances where fencing may be necessary.
Because of the recent increase in special use permit requests for fencing in the downtown, and due to
the incomplete nature of the existing ordinance, the Planning Commission requested staff to draft a
revision to the fence ordinance that would contain provisions for all properties within the city.
The proposed ordinance was drafted by maintaining the existing height and location regulations, as
well as attempting to address those items that the staff and the Commission had identified as gaps. The
following chart attempts to highlight the scope of the proposed ordinance, as well as compare it to
what, if any, ordinance requirements currently exist.

areas. (g)(1)
Other prohibited fencing: vacant lots, parking lots when flow is n/a
interrupted, fencing constructed out of plywood, crap lumber,
cinder blocks. (g)(2), (g)(2), (g)(4)
It has been a consensus of the Commission that the existing ordinance is severely lacking, and
therefore, the revised fence ordinance has been discussed at no less than four Planning Commission
meetings. The majority of the changes center on administrative issues – permitting, how to measure
height, determine grade, maintenance and nuisance issues.
The most divisive issue with the revision has been the inclusion of a regulation that would only allow
chain link fences in the side and rear yards for all properties. It is extremely common for
municipalities to ban chain link fences in the front yard, and actually quite common to ban ALL
fences in the front yards. A brief survey showed that Marshall, Hillsdale, Sturgis, and Kalamazoo, all
prohibit chain link fences in the front yard. In fact, both Hillsdale and Sturgis allow only decorative
fencing in the front yard. After lengthy discussion, the inclusion of this requirement to prohibit chain
link fences in the front yard passed two votes of Planning Commission.
Please keep in mind that there are few homes or even businesses in the city that have a front yard
fences, and even fewer have a chain link fence in the front yard. The approval of this ordinance does
NOT require the removal of existing chain link fences in front yards unless changes are made to the
fence. Repair or general maintenance is not considered a change for this purpose. Relocating the
fence, for example, would necessitate compliance with the new ordinance.
It is poor practice to create regulations in response to problems, perceived or real. The entire premise
of planning is to be proactive and put into place regulations that maintain the current standards or to
encourage improvement – this is the intent of this ordinance.
The draft minutes from the public hearing will be emailed to City Council upon their completion.
Pursuant to the Planning Commission recommendation for approval, I am seeking the inclusion of
Ordinance No. 711 on the Monday, March 12, 2007, regular City Council meeting agenda for
introduction and initial discussion.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you.

inert, with the purpose or intent or having the effect of preventing passage or view across the line
of the fence.
(2)
Fence, decorative, is an open fence constructed from wrought iron or a similar
material, has at least 50% of the surface area open and transparent, and designed to add

fence from the building department. A fence permit shall not be required for repair when said
repair constitutes less than 25% of the entire fence within a one year period, or for minor repair
or painting.
(2)
A Building Permit application, showing the proposed location, type of fence, and
height, must be approved by the City Inspector or his agent, prior to the construction of any
fence or retaining wall. If not approved by the Planning Commission as part of a site plan
review, the Zoning Administrator shall first approve proposed fencing for non-residential
properties, including commercial, office/service, and industrial properties.
(3)
Permits are not required for agricultural fencing purposes which do not adjoin
residential developments or districts.
(d)
Height Regulations
(1)
Except as otherwise provided herein, fencing in all zoning districts shall not
exceed four (4) feet in height when located within a required street (front) yard or side street
yard, and shall not exceed six (6) feet in height when located in any other yard. In the C2 Central

(5)
Chain link security fencing is allowed in agricultural or industrial districts and
may be 8 feet in height in side and rear yards.
(e)
CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS
(1)
Allowable fencing materials include wood, chain link, brick, stone, stucco,

district.
(2)
Fences of wood construction must be constructed so that the exposed framing of
each section of fence faces the interior yard. However, prior to the installation of the fence, the
building inspector or agent may allow the exposed framing of the fence to face adjacent side
and rear yards where the owner or contractor can clearly demonstrate one (1) of the following
conditions:
A.
B.
There is an existing fence and/or hedge located on the property adjacent to
the parcel for which the new fence is proposed and the existing fence or
hedge is of a construction and location such that it is physically
impractical and infeasible to install a wood fence with the exposed
framing facing the interior yard.
All adjacent property owners have declared in writing that they have no
objection to the exposed framing.
(3)
The owner of any fence or wall shall be required to maintain the same by
painting, treating, trimming, repairing or removal, if and when necessary. A fence which is
dangerous to the public safety or general welfare and health is a public nuisance and the City
may commence proceedings for the abatement thereof.
(4)
It is recommended that the property owner inform the adjoining property owner(s)
of his intention to construct a fence and have a licensed land surveyor define the property lines
involved. Fences shall be constructed inside the property line or on the property line between
cooperating neighbors.
(5)
Utilities (gas, water, or electricity) providers should be contacted prior to any
fence installation regarding meter access requirements and location of lines. Call "MISS DIG"
before you dig.
(f)
General Regulations
(1)
Fence Location: On all properties, no fence, landscape wall, or decorative post
shall be located closer than one (1) foot to a front lot line or street right-of-way. Fences,
landscape walls, and decorative posts may be constructed on the property line in the side and rear
yards. No fence shall obstruct a vision clearance triangle as set forth in Section 1299.05 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
(2)
Method of Measurement: Where a fence or wall is located at a common property
line with varying elevations, including berms or permanent planters, the height shall be measured
and averaged at regular intervals on both sides of the property line. The final height shall be
determined by averaging the dimensions obtained from the measure interval averages. The
measured interval distances shall typically be eight (8) feet.
(3)
Decorative architectural features on fences/walls shall not be included in the
height of a fence except that they shall not extend more than nine (9) inches above the maximum
height and shall have minimum eight (8) foot spacing between them.
(4)
Access to the rear yard is required for emergency purposes, and must be at least
four (4) feet wide. All gates are required to swing inward away from adjacent property (toward
the property owner’s yard).
(5)
Legally existing, non-conforming fences and walls will be required to come into
compliance with this ordinance at such time as any change is made to the fence.
(6)
All persons owning or having in their possession livestock, fowl, or domestic
animals requiring confinement must erect and maintain in good repair adequate fencing or other
means to keep said animals confined on the owner’s premise.
(7)
Fencing surrounding swimming pools are allowed as required by the building
code.
(g)
Prohibited Fencing
(1)
No fence erected within the City limits shall be electrically charged in any
manner. Barbed wire, razor wire, concertina strands and the like are expressly prohibited;
provided however that fencing which includes barbed wire strands proposed for properties
deemed to be in hazardous usage or in need of additional security in the industrial districts may be
permitted by the Zoning Administrator providing that only three strands are used, not more than a
total of nine inches in height.
(2)
Fencing is not permitted on vacant lots with no principal use.
(3)
Fencing is not allowed to interrupt traffic patterns, parking spaces or maneuvering
lanes, or drainage areas.
(4)
Fences/walls made out of plywood, scrap lumber, exposed concrete or cinder
block, or other non-customary materials are prohibited.
SECTION #2
This ordinance shall take effect 21 days after its adoption and publication as prescribed by law.
