gate for Nancy's Way and a latched walking gate for Nancy's Way will need to be submitted

parking areas of the development. Staff recommended that 11 of these be completed prior to
the Final Plat be signed by City Staff.

plan and permanent barrier for Nancy and Mary's Way.

B. A Public meeting to review an application for a fence variance at 653 Meadowbrook
Drive. The applicant is requesting if portions of proposed fence can be constructed
at a height of six feet in a side yard setback where the code allows a maximum height
of 42 inches. The subject property is located in the R-1-8, Residential Single Family
zoning district on Map 37 2W OIBC, Tax Lot 9300.
Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, presented the Planning Department Staff Report. The
applicants are requesting a fence variance for a side yard fence on a corner lot. The fence
would go out to the property line at a height of six feet. Several neighbors have signed a
petition in favor of the placement of the fence. In order for a fence variance to be approved
the Planning Commission must find the creation of an unnecessary hardship or six other
criteria.

The applicant, Dan and Kay Berryman, stated that thiswould have an undo hardship because
it wouldn't allow for proper screening of the pool and would limit the area of useable property.
They also feel that building a three and one-half feet high fence then a four feet fence would
not allow for screening of the pool and not to the protection that they would like. They were
also not told by the developer of the restrictions on the corner lot.
Matt Samitore, told the applicants and commission of the correct right-of-way on the lot and
that the fence would need to be setback three feet from the back of the sidewalk. The pool
would also have to be setback a minimum of twenty feet from the property line on the side
yard.
Commissioner Fish made a motion to adopt Resolution 550 approving the fence variance
based on the findings of fact contained in the record and subject to the recommended
conditions of approval. Commissioner Riggs seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: The
motion passed unanimously.
