SF-23-34 - Proposed Technical Amendments to Fence and Sight Triangle By-law 23-2014 (All Wards)

 
  • Recommendation

    That the Safety and Facilities Services Committee recommend to City Council:

    Whereas the Fence and Sight Triangle By-law 23-2014, as amended (“Fence and Sight Triangle By-law”) is a by-law to regulate the height of fences, natural features and objects in certain circumstances within the City of Oshawa (“City”); and,

    Whereas Section 3 of the Fence and Sight Triangle By-law regulates the materials in which fences may be constructed from to limit hazards posed to humans; and,

    Whereas plastic construction fencing, also known as snow fencing, is suitable and acceptable for temporary fencing applications related to development and construction activities as well as limiting the movement of snow on a seasonal basis it is not appropriate or acceptable for permanent fencing applications; and,

    Whereas the Fence and Sight Triangle By-law currently does not differentiate between the acceptable temporary use of plastic construction fencing and the unacceptable and undesirable use of plastic construction fencing in a permanent fencing application; and,

    Whereas Council considers it appropriate to prohibit the use of plastic construction fencing in the Fence and Sight Triangle By-law with exemptions for acceptable temporary fencing applications related to development, construction and seasonal snow activities;

    Therefore be it resolved that Council approve a by-law in a final form and content acceptable to Legal Services and the Commissioner, Safety and Facilities Services Department to amend the Fence and Sight Triangle By-law 23-2014, as amended to prohibit the use of plastic construction fencing with exemptions for acceptable temporary fencing applications.
