He stated that the <br />illars and retaining walls, but do not <br />also located on Mr. Rood's property <br />Mr. Rood indicated that he would prefer to have the pillars <br />at a height of 4h feet, rather than 3h feet as required by the <br />City. He intends to plant shrubbery in between the pillars that <br />would be maintained at a height of four feet. He noted that <br />there were several fences in his neighborhood that were six feet <br />in height. <br />Bellows stated that the elevations of the pillars and hedges <br />shown on the plan do not depict the plans explained by Mr. Rood, <br />nor does it show what actually exists on Mr. Rood's property. <br />She said, "The plan shows the hedges above the pillars. Mr. Rood <br />has indicated that he wants the hedge 1/2 foot below the pillars. <br />The plan shows that pillars are located along one property line <br />when in fact there are pillars along two property lines. I am <br />becoming concerned about this because each time a plan has been <br />submitted, it does not show what presently exists on the <br />property. We gave Mr. Rood very explicit direction as to what we <br />wanted to see. We also indicated that we wanted the property to <br />remain in as natural a state as possible. I am not sure that is <br />occurring." <br />Rood explained that he is requesting approval to construct <br />the pillars 4h feet, which is the height of the existing pillars. <br />He stated that if the Planning Commission will not allow the <br />pillars at a 4h foot height, he would have to reduce the height <br />to 3h feet. <br />Kelley stated that Mr. Rood is seeking approval of a <br />Conditional Use Permit and Variance for excavation and creation <br />of a pond within a wetland area. <br />Gaffron confirmed Kelley's statement. <br />Mabusth asked if Mr. Rood is now seeking a height Variance <br />for the pillars /fence. <br />Cohen stated that request is not included in the application <br />being reviewed in this Public Hearing. <br />• - 3 - <br />
