Board member Orlando questioned staff regarding the age of the
development. Shane Pace replied the development is fairly new. He went
on to explain that a review of the subdivision plat would be necessary to
provide an exact date.
Board member Orlando questioned staff regarding the installation of
fences on neighboring properties and the application of the Land
Development Code on these properties. Shane Pace replied that a few of
the fences on neighboring properties have been installed without a
permit. He went on to explain that two fences in the general vicinity were
approved through email by a previous staff member.
Discussion continued regarding the fencing on neighboring properties.
Board member Maynard questioned the applicants regarding the distance
between the fence and the sidewalk, in relation to the property to the
south. Mr. Allen replied that the location would be very similar. He went
on to say there are trees he would like to preserve inside the fence.
Board member Kamerman questioned the applicants regarding moving
the trees. Mr. Allen replied if the fence is placed outside of the trees, the
trees will remain where they are. Board member Kamerman asked the
applicants if the fence would be within 5 feet from the sidewalk. Mr. Allen
replied the fence will be within 5 feet from the sidewalk.
Board member Maynard question the applicants regarding the height of
the fence. Mr. Allen replied they would keep the same fence and same
height.
Board member Allee questioned staff on the approval of various setbacks
on neighboring properties over a period of time and the reason these
fences have not been corrected. Shane Pace replied he is unable to speak
to the approval process of the neighboring fences in the past. He went on
to explain that the city will not initiate a request to relocate a non-
conforming fence. He further explained the intent and spirit of the current
regulations in the Land Development Code which require corner lots to be
setback 15 feet.
