Mr. <br />Peterson said he never referred to the fence being around the <br />pool. In Mr. Peterson's opinion, the backyard is the pool area. <br />He asked why there was no specific mention, other than reference <br />to height, in the resolution, to where the fence is to be <br />located. He said they have done everything as they said they <br />were going to do. <br />Mrs. Petersen said they do not have a large enough yard to <br />have various fences breaking up the amount of area. She said <br />that 5' security is imperative because there is a playground <br />right across the street. <br />Counci I-!inofer Callahan said that he recollected that the <br />discussions at the Council Meeting centered around the pool, the <br />variance needed to put in the pool, and the requirements of the <br />insurance company to protect the pool with a fence. Callahan <br />said that the Council never thought, or thinks now, that they <br />gave approval for the fence that now exists, Callahan said that <br />there may be a misunderstanding, but he does not believe it 13 <br />proper to leave the fence in the right-of-way. Callahan said <br />that he could not allow a pool to be installed in that <br />neighborhood without fencing around it. Callahan said that w lat <br />is left to be decided is how to screen the pool and what <br />variances are required to accomplish that, <br />Mr. Peterson said that many of the decisions they have made <br />in regard to the pool were based on the appi. .val given.
