1720 Doug DeMalignon - Variance <br />Page 2 <br />it- <br />i»Mr <br />I <br />Review Sections 37.090 Screening Required and 37.100 Type <br />of Screening. A 15* minimum setback is required for screening <br />fences installed along streets. The height limitation for <br />such solid fences is 5* and at least 50% open. A louvered <br />fence is considered solid if it blocks direct vision. <br />There is no doubt that the applicant's nearest neighbor and <br />developer of the property would prefer total screening from <br />DeMalignon'8 "car fixing" home occupation. Our responsibility <br />is to assure the public's health, safety and welfare. A <br />screening fence 6' - 8' in height located 3' off the road <br />right of way can be placed along the west front side of the <br />property and not create hazardous conditions for users of <br />the road. I would suggest that if the fence is to be <br />continued to the east access location that the fence be located <br />15' off the right of way approximately 75' from that east <br />access point. Planning Commission may ask that staff determine <br />the setback line based on vision considerations. <br />Stockade fences can be adjusted to any desired height, <br />fence would afford the desired screening. <br />A 6 <br />If Pl^mning Commission is to deny the application, use the <br />guidelines setforth in 32.340 and require the immediate removal <br />of the trellis. <br />BH
