Tom. Huprhey prescnietl the Plannitlg I?epartment Stai't'Reprart. Consideration
of the variance does not ~~quire a public clearing. J~eddaway will be opening ,July
19`k' and as construction ended both file City and the api~licants rc~tlized there was
agreement on the height of the fence. Reddaway hay alrcnd~' 1L'~~lrn cc>nstrllciic,>,
of the fence, but had to stop pending the outcome of tl~~; variance. CJSi~ Redda~vay
wishes to btiicd a 6 foot high fence with an additional 1 foot ofbark~-wire. the
tailor barbed-wire fence would oll~r bette~• security and so they are pursuing this
request far variance from the niGULicll?ai code.
Mr. l-lumphrcy went through the Tindings of Fact c~ Conclusions of Law, The
applicant stated that due to the industrial nature, parcel size and remote location of
their new facility there will be greater security risi~s to their business. The
addi t i c,nai height of the fence and use of barbed wire is pa~~ o E Rcddaway's overall
sectu~il} system., The fence will be screened along its llamrick i~.oad frontages by
landscaping.
"l'he City did not receive a~ay correspondence opposed to the security fence and
adjoining properties such as I:s,l,~ and the C>17OT maintenance yard use similar
security fences. Tire eonst~-uction material. of the security fence is consistent with.
municipal regulations in tl~e Manufacturing zoning dist~•ict i~owever the height and
material used is not ct-rrently allowed in at~y zoning district.
Commissioner Fish maclc a motion to adopt Resolution 457 approving the
Variance from fence height and material requirements in order to add three
strands of barbed wire and retain adequate security far an industrially
oriented freight forwarding faci}ity. The fence will be 6 feet high with an
additional 1 foot of barbed wire. The subject parcel is zoned M-1, Light
Industria}. Commissioner Foster seconded the motion. ROLL CALL:
