This is a public participation portion. If there's 22 00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,799 anyone that has anything that they wish to speak to that is not on the agenda, 23 00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,080 they can step forward now. If not, we will move forward to new business. Uh we 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:29,280 have a public hearing a petition by Sharon M. Morgan Rogers uh for approval 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:33,040 of a variance uh to article 7.06.3 of the unified development ordinance to 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,000 allow an 8ft high privacy fence to be constructed in a portion of the side and 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,920 rear yard of the property located at 3140 North First Street. We have a staff 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,920 report. >> Oh, 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,280 good evening. >> Okay. Uh my name is Sharon Warden 30 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Rogers. I'm the property owner at 3140 North First Street, Jacquel. And as you 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:03,360 know, I am here tonight requesting a twoft height variance on privacy fence 32 00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:08,800 for a total of 8 ft in height to lessen the impact of flood lights from 33 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:13,920 neighboring property. The 8 ft will help with about 2/3 of the light shining in 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:18,400 my double hung windows on the south side of my house. And the light will also 35 00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:22,800 allow me to enjoy the property outside both in in the front and the backyard at 36 00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:26,319 nighttime with less light pollution and illuminating the yard from the 37 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,680 neighboring flood lights. In the front yard, the flood the variance will also 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,400 help make it safer when I back out of the garage at nighttime without lighting 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:39,280 um shining into the garage and my eyes as I back out of the garage. The 40 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:45,040 location of the fence will have minimal um visibility to passing motorists by on 41 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,920 First Street and to neighbors across First Street. As the street runs north 42 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:54,800 and south and the fence will run east and west, it'll graduate down to an 43 00:02:52,800 --> 00:03:00,160 allowable 3 ft from the front of the house to the street. I plan to plant 44 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:05,519 ornamental grasses and several arborites to lessen any visual impact when 45 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:10,080 traveling south on First Street. The speed limit along this part of First 46 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,599 Street is 45 miles per hour. Those traveling north on First Street will not 47 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,400 see the fence due to the heavy vegetation on the neighboring property 48 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,319 to the south. I appreciate you hearing my petition. 49 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:28,879 » Thank you very much, Mr. We have a staff report. Just uh briefly 50 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:34,560 uh as the addition mentioned um requesting variance on fence height uh 51 00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:39,040 the max height and for privacy fence residential district 360. 52 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,879 Um Sharon mentioned the request is to 8ft 53 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:50,080 high white vinyl fence along the uh south property line see it here in red 54 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:55,120 privacy fence starting in the back going towards the front just to the front of 55 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,599 the corner of the house which is u that's where in front of the house 56 00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:03,200 it's got to taper down uh to meet the requirements which they're doing under 57 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:06,480 3t high privacy fence. So, we transitioned there. A couple panels 58 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:14,000 transition down instead of an abrupt kind of uh step down there. Look a 59 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:20,239 little better. Uh so, as uh mentioned, there's the site on North First Street 60 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,759 on a large lot. A lot of large lots on that side of First Street. As you can 61 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,080 see, little closer view. This shows the in 62 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:33,600 red line here through the middle of the screen where the closed fence would go 63 00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:33,600 along the property line. 64 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,880 It'll be a white vinyl fence in that style. Uh be white vinyl 8 foot high. 65 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:47,360 Applicant notes. Uh Reese's name is to help screen additional 2 ft to help 66 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,040 screen the light intensity for the neighboring property and she provided 67 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:55,759 some photos of that light on her property in her home. 68 00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:59,400 Packets up on the screen here. I captured a few. 69 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:09,360 That's inside the house. Also uh as noted the uh the fence will 70 00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:13,199 not hardly be seen. This is a site there. The fence run along this area 71 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:18,240 here. This is looking south on North First Street. Heavy vegetation here. 72 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:23,440 Evergreen year on screening. This is a view looking north. This is a 73 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:28,080 driveway into the subject site. So as you drive north, you're not able to see 74 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:32,800 the fence at all. Heavy vegetation there on the adjoining lot and the fence. of 75 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:38,919 course will taper down to 3 ft so it will not be a visibility issue for any 76 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:38,919 motors leaving that driveway. 77 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:52,800 So what the variance uh the findings we focused on uh additional 2 ft needed to 78 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,560 help screen the additional illumination from adjacent property to the south. Uh 79 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:04,560 fence will run on a soft lot line down and then taper down to 3 ft high privacy 80 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:10,319 fence which is allowed to go. Uh as you can see these lots are quite large 81 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:13,800 uh 1.4 acres for this one. 82 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:22,759 Um large lot to the north 83 00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:22,759 includes a church 84 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:32,400 8.3 acres uh property south 3100 uh similar in size about 1.4 4 acres and 85 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:40,600 the bridging river mist the detention area in that subdivision forest reserve 86 00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:40,600 to the uh southeast of the site 87 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:54,000 and again the visibility of that fence uh would be pretty small uh for traffic 88 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:59,680 going north street. So um we believe in all the findings of fact will not be 89 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:04,479 detrimental to the surrounding area. Uh there's a hardship regarding this trying 90 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,720 to screen the light intensity and the fence will not be visible from North 91 00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:14,240 First Street. We did receive one public response form over the weekend from 92 00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:20,639 Nicholas and Allison Paxton 3080 North First Street. Uh that's the 93 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:26,240 second home to the south. note any support for the variance request down 94 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,400 here and that's handed out to you tonight. So we recommend approval. 95 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,199 There's a sample motion prepare. >> Okay. 96 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,680 » On the report. Thank you, Dan.

With that, I'll close the public hearing. We open it up for 103 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,319 comments and questions from the commission. 104 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:10,720 » What is the uh light? What is What is that? 105 00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:17,319 » Exterior lights. I'm a singlestory home and they're a two-story home.
