Le Mars board grants fence variance; council to weigh rezoning, fire-rescue changes
The Le Mars Board of Zoning Adjustment voted 3-1 on June 22 to grant a variance allowing a chain-link fence within a utility and drainage easement at 895 PGA Drive, with a condition that a deed restriction be added requiring the fence's removal if the property is sold. The item was the only decided action at a recent city board meeting, and the City Council is set to consider rezoning and fire-rescue ordinance updates at its July 7 meeting.
