Oiaiiwoman Dunlap infoimed everyone present that she had received a phone call from Mrs. Gasdi saying that she would be late for the meeting and requesting that her item be delayed until later in the evening. Tvto adjoining property owners, Mrs. Ward Parten and Mrs. Harry Larson, were present. Mrs. Gasch also requested lhat the letters she sent to the CoBmission be read to the neighbors present at this meeting. Chairwoman Dunlap read these letters which contained the chain of events vhich led to the request to build a 12* fence. One such event was the location and positioning of Mrs. Parten's house. Mrs. Gasch had the understanding that when the permit was issued for the new house it was to be built on the same location as the one that was burned down. Mrs. Gasdi feels that the house is located closer to the lake and is positioned in such a way as to overlook her property when viewing the lake. Mrs. Parten's response to this was that die felt her house was in line with the neighbors if you followed the shoreline. Sie also explained that her house was positioned as such to utilize the sun for heat and light. Several Planning Comniission Members did feel that the Parten house was built peculiar to the lot and did, in fact, use the nei^or's lot for view of the lake. Mrs. Parten's proposal was approved as submitted by Council on July 26, 1976. The suggestion was rade that some greenery be planted to provide the necessar/ privacy vdiidi Mrs. Gasch is requesting. The (kmiiission felt this would be more appealing tiian the proposed fence. Mrs. Parten stated that she would be willing to work out some arrangeaient with Mrs. Gasch. After all the comments were heard, Chairwoman Dunlap stated that this matter would be continued vhen the applicant arrived. NARREN ORIENBLAD (Continued) #195 M6.
