Goetten said in regard to fences, she would prefer to see vegetation rather than structure. Goetten also asked whether it would be possible to remove any other hardcover existing further to the north on the property.Mrs. Hommeyer said that the deck was tied into the retaining walls.CounciImember Goetten asked City Engineer Cook to address some alternatives to the deck.Cook said that the 3-1/2' x 19' section between the stairways could remain. The decking could be removed from the section that is 3.8' x 12' and the timbers could be ► down to grade level and some of the structure could be placed underground so it could be grassed over. Counci]member Nettles indicated that he concurred with CounciImember Goetten. CounciImember Goetten asked Mr. Morse if he knew whether the new owner of the property may be willing to plant vegetation in lieu of the fence proposed by Hommeyers? Mr. Morse said that the Hommeyers are being compensated from his insurance company for the trees that were removed. He also noted that the area where the trees were removed is not the same area the Hommeyers are asking to have fenced. Mayor Grabek indicated that he had no objection to the entire deck remaining since it had existed for 7 years. Grabek said that he did oppose the fence. Mr. Hommeyer asked if the fence application could be tabled to allow them time to talk with their new neighbor. It was moved by Mayor Grabek to recommend approval of the variances for the deck, stairs and retaining walls already existing, but deny the request for the 6' fence. There was no second. It was moved by CounciImember Nettles, seconded by CounciImember Goetten, to table this application to provide time for the Hommeyers to work with the neighbor on the fence issue and a full Council can decide on the deck area. Nettles said that he was not partial to the deck one way or the other. He felt that since the deck passed with the certificate of occupancy he may approve it, yet it did set a precedent which may cause him to deny it. Mabusth noted that the certificate of occupancy did not approve the deck because it was not observed by the inspector. Motion, Ayes-2, Mayor Grabek, Nay. Motion passed.
