The Wales Town Planning and Zoning Committee scheduled a work meeting for 7:00 PM on September 22, 2026, at Wales Town Hall, located at 150 N State, Wales, Utah, according to a meeting notice and agenda.
This meeting was intended to continue discussions regarding the Fence-Only Permit Application Checklist and Fence Ordinance Amendments, which were previously tabled during a meeting on September 15, 2026.
The agenda for the work meeting included several items related to fence regulations. The committee planned to review the current six-foot height standard and consider different standards for agricultural or see-through fences versus solid or barrier fences.
Discussions were also set to address opacity and sight obstruction by defining solid and open fencing and establishing front-yard height limits for each. Additionally, the committee aimed to adopt measurable standards for clear-view triangles at intersections and driveways, establish standards for acceptable materials—specifically whether to prohibit pallets, tarps, and scrap materials—and establish a method for measuring fence height on sloped lots.
Other topics included considering a separate height allowance for decorative gate posts, defining the variance process for fences exceeding standard height limits, and considering the removal of the $50 fee for fence-only permits.
The meeting agenda was certified by Deputy Town Clerk Doug McMullin and posted on the Utah Public Notice website, the Wales Town website, and notice boards at Wales Town Hall.
