There were no conflicts of interest expressed by the Commissioners. Chairman Frederick opened the public hearing. George Francisco, 4010 Rock Way, Central Point, came forward. He stated that constructing a six-foot fence in the area indicated would allow him more use of his property. He would like to have a garden, wood storage and a place for his camper in the area to be fenced. At the present time, he stated that children are constantly cutting across his property which prevents him from utilizing this area as he would like. He does not feel a 331-foot fence would be of adequate height to keep the children off his property. In addition, Mr. Francisco also stated that his own children are small and a six-foot fence would provide for their safety in keeping them within his yard. The fence will also be necessary at some point in the future as he intends to put a pool in his backyard. He indicated that there is sidewalk on both street sides of his property. City of Central Point Planning Commission Meeting October 2, 198: - 7 :00 p.m. Page 3 Commissioner Piland stated that an issue here is the effect a six-foot fence would have on traffic visibility. Mr. Francisco stated that he did not think visibility would be hindered any more than it is now. Commissioner Ellard informed Mr. Francisco of the memorandum from Sgt. Macartney of the police department stating that traffic visibility would be adversely affected by a six-foot fence constructed as requested by Mr. Francisco. A copy of the memo- randum was provided for Mr. Francisco to read. Commissioner Ellard suggested that the six-foot height of the fence end at a point perpendicular to the southeast corner of the house and continue toward Rock Way at a height of 3' feet. Mr. Francisco stated that he would agree to this if it is absolutely necessary. Commissioner Bitterling suggested the use of a chain link fence to maintain visibility. After considerable discussion, the Commissioners decided against a chain link fence because if approved, at some point in the future the visi- bility could be obstructed with shrubbery or slats. No one else came forward to speak in favor of or against the request. Chair- man Frederick closed the public hearing. Commissioner Piland made a motion to pass Resolution No. 91 , A Resolution Approving a Variance to Construct a Fence Exceeding Height Limitations in an R-1 Zone, said fence not to extend forward (west) beyond a point perpendicular to the southeast corner of the house on property located at 4010 Rock Way, Central Point, Oregon, further described as Jackson County Assessor's Map Page 37 2W 3AB, Tax Lot 1500.
