the case and answer any questions the Board had.
eoarcl member Rich Munson questioned Mr Morgan regarding if the lot was built up with
excavated material from the construction of the subdivision? Mr. Morgan stated not
knowing for sure, but it appears that the property seems to be on a slope. Board
member Rich Munson questioned Mr. Morgan regarding what did the property look like
before construction? Mr. Morgan replied not knowing.
Board member Ed Moore questioned Mr. Morgan how long he thought the vine would
take to grow to affect the lattice work? Mrs. Morgan stated there is some lattice worfc
that is tightly woven and some greenery can be bought that is already six feet tall. The
lattice work is not solid.

Board member Uton Dellosso stated this lattice work is a temporary tix until the
greenery grows for a more attractive appearance.
There being no one wishing to speak, Chairman McNosky closed the public hearing at
7:35 p.m.
Board member Ed Moore moved to deny case A-06-007. Board member Rich
Munson seconded.
Boats member Skip Reynolds stated being concerned by the staffs
recommendation for denial due to technical non-compliance, which is a correct
assessment, however, he stated being sympathetic to the problem. There is
nothing in the record that would show the code would permit this Board to grant
a variance.
Board member Ed Moore stated the code states no fence larger than 8 foot. The
applicant could put a two foot lattice on the existing fence and not need a
variance.
Board member Rich Munson concurred and stated with the existing elevation, it
would appear the developer may have caused.
Board member Skip Reynolds stated the code does not mention anything about
the slope or grade of the land being an issue, however, if the applicant feels that
we have granted variances for this type, in the past, we could table this request.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 3 -Munson, Moore, McNosky
Nay: 1 -Knox
Absent: 1 -Kenney
Abstain: 1 -Reynolds
Board member Skip Reynolds stated not having enough evidence to vote in favor
of this request.
Board member Ed Moore stated to the applicant that a two foot lattice could be
placed on the fence.
Chairman McNosky stated to the applicant to get with staff for some alternatives.
