The new fencing is the same type as used on a property across the ^reet fix>m <br />subject property. <br />Rowictte read into the minutes a letter with 15 si^iatures from neighbors approving the <br />fence. <br />Smith voiced concern with allowing fencing that does not meet City code and possibly <br />creating alleyways of fencing.
