The Cody Planning and Zoning meeting held on June 5, 2025, focused on a request concerning a residential property and the construction of a new fence. The meeting began with an introduction from Patrick Ream, who presented letters from neighbors regarding the proposed changes. Ream clarified that he collected these letters from neighbors and submitted them to the city.

During the discussion, board members inquired about the current residents of the property in question. Ream expressed uncertainty about whether the residents were moving but confirmed that his request regarding the fence remained unchanged.

Ream highlighted privacy concerns, noting that the existing window in the neighboring house allowed visibility into his kitchen and living areas. He proposed constructing a new cedar fence to enhance privacy, stating that it would match the existing fence in material and design.

Board members engaged in a detailed discussion about the fence's height and placement. Ream indicated plans to raise part of the fence to nine feet, particularly where it would block views from taller neighbors. He clarified that while some sections would remain at six feet, the area adjacent to the house would be elevated to provide better privacy.

The meeting concluded with no further questions from the board, and members expressed their understanding of Ream's privacy concerns, with some admitting to having visited the property to assess the situation firsthand. The board's discussions underscored the importance of balancing neighborhood aesthetics with individual privacy needs.
