Council still debating fence definition

At Monday night’s meeting of the Odessa Town Council, the rewritten draft ordinance defining a “fence” was seen by council member Frank White as too restrictive and likely to cause more problems for the council than it solved. He asked that the issue be tabled again for further discussion, and the other council members concurred.

A variance was granted for the revised request for a backyard fence on Amende Drive to provide running room for the owner’s dog.

A permit for a reroof and new fence on east Third Avenue was also approved by the council.
