Staff presented the application and told the board that a fence up to 7 feet does not need a waiver but a fence taller than 7 feet does. Yutona Dye, Community Development Director, said the applicant, Patrick Ream, provided written notices to surrounding property owners and submitted returned letters showing neighbor support. Dye said the neighbor immediately to the west provided a letter stating no objection so long as the fence is built on the applicant's property and meets city standards. Staff reported no health or safety issues associated with the taller fence.

Patrick Ream spoke to the board and explained the fence would screen a side door and window that face into his kitchen, living room and bedroom. Ream told the board he intends to construct the new section of fence in cedar to match existing fencing and that the nine‑foot section would extend from a point beside the house northward to the corner of the house; the remaining portions of fence would remain at six feet as shown on the applicant’s sketch.

Board members confirmed they had inspected the site before the meeting and said they were satisfied that the proposed nine‑foot section would address the applicant’s privacy concerns without adverse impacts to public health or safety. The motion to approve the waiver passed; the transcript records a motion by Ian and a second by Sarah to approve the request and the chair announced \"Ayes have it.\" The applicant was advised to obtain any required permits for fence construction.

Why it matters: The waiver changes the standard residential fence height along a limited portion of a property to address a privacy concern and establishes permit and location requirements. The board’s approval is conditioned on the fence being placed on the applicant’s property and meeting city construction standards.

The record includes the applicant’s letters from neighbors and photographs supplied to staff. The board asked staff and the applicant to ensure the fence follows city standards and building requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cody - Planning and Zoning - Jun 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a waiver allowing a 9‑foot wood privacy fence along a portion of 1432 Bleistein Avenue to screen a neighbor’s side door and window, after the applicant presented neighbor support and staff found no health or safety objections.","taxTitle","Cody, Park County, Wyoming","taxId",68762,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6676030,"Planning board approves two front signs for Rancho Chico’s, orders removal of oversized side wall sign",772,1307000,2079000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681793-212a42473d274ea6fad764c63ffd4455&start=1307&end=2079","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681793-212a42473d274ea6fad764c63ffd4455/thumbnail_1307000.jpg","/articles/6676030/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Planning-board-approves-two-front-signs-for-Rancho-Chicos-orders-removal-of-oversized-side-wall-sign","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676030-5868f191a5f70c83d0c429e75d5df649/orig.mp4?Expires=1771030192&Signature=CAiBpgdpSabUnX2WYQhBiAVfjt2Sc06yJp~d1GFprWLRfbdUE9ccyGNuVhEqLqia82jlAXDaJ1GO-~qz~bk1kGU0fs-GtL3BbcQXSc33f85urWuHOPbLrQvS2OPcUN~PfAVgDrDq4qKRdXKhtK03Awyjsjm8N8AboYY~pbV3fi0Qf6AOQ5lfHNGgFRv-6PhtLSrHzKME3PmPjMp5KUOK9kZJYfpUUA6DDot5VStYYrSK9d9NLCZdFh6hzoE1mZmKyDlqMu1hTz~JbwcCt8~FrreM-NQYWDCuSroYGY8Bnkh69N36Wp8F9xjntXtz85SXtkMs3W5w316wmVm5r5mrHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board on June 5 approved two front‑facing signs for Rancho Chico’s at 1219 Sheridan Avenue and ordered the removal of a large side wall sign that staff found noncompliant with downtown sign rules.

Yutona Dye, Community Development Director, told the board that applicant Luis Guerrero had installed three signs without prior staff approval. Dye said the projecting sign (3 feet by 6 feet) and the primary front wall sign (4 feet by 8 feet) meet the Downtown Architectural District sign criteria and may remain, provided the applicant obtains required building permits. Dye said the third sign, mounted on the side of the building and measuring about 8 feet by 12 feet, does not comply because it is not on a street frontage and exceeds allowable size under the district rules.

Staff recommended approval of the two front signs and removal of the oversized side wall sign, or alternately that the applicant seek a special exemption. Board members expressed concern about additional visual clutter on Main Street and about the front signs being vinyl; they said the projecting sign provides visibility in both directions and the front signs will require building permits and must meet building‑safety requirements.

Board member Dan moved to approve the two compliant signs and require removal of the side wall sign; the motion carried. The chair announced the motion passed with one nay vote; a board member identified in the record as Sarah cast the lone dissent. The board noted the applicant may pursue a special exemption at his own expense if he wishes to keep the side wall sign.

Why it matters: Signs in the Downtown Architectural District require review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The board’s action affects the business’s on‑premises identification, enforcement of the downtown sign code and the applicant’s next steps, which include permitting and possible exemption procedures.

The record shows the building department must issue any building permits for the installed signs and verify safety requirements. The applicant, identified in the record as Luis Guerrero, was present and worked with staff on the post‑installation application.","The Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board approved two front‑facing signs for Rancho Chico’s at 1219 Sheridan Avenue and voted that a large 8x12 side wall sign be removed unless the applicant pursues a special exemption.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6676034,"Cody planning board recommends city council approve Deuces Subdivision final plat with conditions",1162,209000,1371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681793-212a42473d274ea6fad764c63ffd4455&start=209&end=1371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681793-212a42473d274ea6fad764c63ffd4455/thumbnail_209000.jpg","/articles/6676034/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Cody-planning-board-recommends-city-council-approve-Deuces-Subdivision-final-plat-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676034-06dcbb200d475eae72958f805b79bb46/orig.mp4?Expires=1771030192&Signature=IsKp3brvwLaKkLuFWYaZcRickAh3veSs0E~-T8aPCh9~frAvpXu-TVa4ccPuVWhu7HhnVW~eomqjTYyvjHdwGPAiza~-K~~etuL8u7G2CRxDwmONCnJvmYfHyKJjkcyE43~cBAIoRjD~iSJJpPSjGntqqFWVRc5Mmqgo4EA-lyjEE8kXnMXqjKmMmzJELnkw-xnqLcR4V~GvalVKz6i1AZqp4LJPsTxhSrsks6HYUWw-bSrFMiyLZQtgNuM0qTnInbluFNyGmAIgPxe-T1v0h1VXwm2BLBz~ewPGLnpYrBZOReB3nIhVEvk0hkkqJeYkIK0-dqLUTZh3ko7mPjy2yA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board on June 5 recommended that the City Council approve the final plat for the Deuces Subdivision, a 15‑lot project at the corner of Mountain View Drive and 20 Sixth Street, and approve six requested subdivision variances subject to conditions.

The recommendation followed a staff presentation by Yutona Dye, Community Development Director, who told the board the applicant has met most preliminary plat conditions but must complete a transfer of water rights and pay a corrected reduced cash‑in‑lieu public use fee of $13,904.35 before the mayor may sign the final plat. Dye told the board that staff will allow the applicant to submit building permits for Lots 1 through 4 during construction, but added a condition that no temporary certificates of occupancy (TCOs) or certificates of occupancy (COs) will be issued and no utility accounts set up for tenants until all subdivision infrastructure has been accepted by the city and an acceptance letter issued by the mayor.

The recommendations to City Council include: provision of fully executed construction plans and third‑party utility signatures for Bayport Energy, TCT and Charter; payment of the corrected $13,904.35 cash‑in‑lieu public use fee and applicable utility and hook‑on fees before final plat signature; recordation of the subdivision declaration of restrictions, stormwater and infiltration maintenance agreements and other documents approved by the city attorney; a guarantee of improvements for a stated period; and that acceptance of improvements by the city will not occur until all supplemental materials are submitted and accepted.

Board members and staff discussed the proposed internal street geometry. Staff described variance No. 3 as allowing a 100‑foot curvature radius on an internal street (Irving Cove). One board member moved to remove the phrase \"may be further reduced based on construction plans\" from that variance so the 100‑foot radius would be a fixed requirement in the board's recommendation. Public works staff and the fire marshal reviewed the layout and told the board they had no concerns about access for fire apparatus or sanitation vehicles at the proposed radius, and staff said a slight reduction would likely still be acceptable during final construction‑drawing refinements but the fire marshal would need to review the final construction drawings.

Dye said the state Board of Control (referred to in the record as the \"state board of control\") controls water‑rights transfers and that the transfer must be completed or otherwise resolved before approval of the final plat and the mayor's signature. Dye said the applicant was working with its engineer and the board of control; the city does not determine which entity will receive transferred water rights.

The board voted to recommend City Council approval of the final plat and the six variances with the staff‑proposed conditions, including the language that no TCOs or COs be issued until infrastructure acceptance, and with the corrected $13,904.35 figure noted. The motion was amended on the floor to remove the option to further reduce the 100‑foot curvature radius in variance No. 3. One board member who earlier recused themself from part of the discussion remained recused from that item. The board chair announced, \"Ayes have it.\" The recommendation will go to the City Council for final action.

Why it matters: The board’s recommendation sets conditions that affect the project’s construction sequencing, utility coordination with third‑party providers, the timing of occupancy, and compliance with local subdivision and infrastructure standards. Final approval by the City Council — and completion of the water‑rights transfer overseen by the state Board of Control — are required before the mayor may sign the final plat.

The board record shows staff will require the applicant to submit signed construction plans, utility installation agreements, recorded declarations and maintenance agreements and pay applicable fees before final plat signature. The recommendation also requires a warranty/guarantee of improvements and holds issuance of occupancies until city acceptance of infrastructure. The City Council will consider the recommendation at a future meeting.","The Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board voted June 5 to recommend City Council approval of the 15‑lot Deuces Subdivision final plat with six variances and conditions, including a requirement that no temporary certificates of occupancy be issued until infrastructure is accepted and a corrected $13,904.35 public‑use fee be paid.","actionData","errors"]
