Jackson to weigh simpler wildlife-friendly fencing rules in town code
Town of Jackson planning staff are asking the Planning and Zoning Commission to back a rewrite of the wildlife-friendly fencing section so the “base” and “mid-tier” standards become one set of rules, with clearer direction on permeability and entrapment hazards.
Town of Jackson staff are set to ask the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 3 to support a rewrite of Land Development Regulations Section 5.1.2 (Wildlife Friendly Fencing) that rolls the current “base tier” and “mid-tier” standards into one combined set of requirements, instead of two different rulebooks depending on map tier agenda packet.
If the commission supports the concept, watch for three practical questions in the discussion: how much flexibility property owners keep for perimeter and privacy fencing, whether “entrapment” problems get handled mainly through code enforcement, and whether the town should require fencing permits so bad designs get caught before they go in the ground agenda packet.
