Citizen requesting to speak to the Council - Barbara Redding - 909 Glade Road Barbara Redding, 909 Glade Road, spoke to the Council concerning the privacy fence between her house and the Sonic Drive-In that had been cut down. It was her understanding that the City had an agreement with the Sonic Drive-In that a fence would be installed and there was no time limit on the length it would remain. City Manager Ballenger explained the background of the request to remove a portion of the fence. He further explained that it was his decision to allow a portion to be removed to improve the visability on Glade Road. As he was not aware of any agreement between the City and The Sonic Drive-In, he stated it was his error that allowed the fence to be changed although he did not think as much of the fence would be removed. Mayor Hubbard and Mrs. Reddingdlscussedat length the problem. The meeting was recessed. The meeting was reconvened. Council person Kelly suggested the following solution: 1) install the chain link fence down to the original height; 2) a privacy fence be put back up to the building line so not to block the visability of Glade Road (slope the fence to the Road); 3) privacy fence between Titus property and Redding be put up. The Council agreed that something should be done and the Mayor appointed Council person Duffy to work with Mrs. Redding for a mutual solution to the problem. .
