Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant is requesting the approval of a site plan consisting of a seven foot high chain link fence with a one foot strand barbed wire on the top. Mr. Fritsinger noted the Planning Commi..~ion approved the request without the barbed wire addition. The applicant requests that the City Council reconsider the use of barbed wire for determent purposes. Mr. Fritsinger indicated this fence is constructed at East Side Beverage, 1260 Grey Fox Road. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant has contacted the City several times in the past with concerns about theft and vandalism on the site. Primarily these problems have been caused by juveniles who are frequently in the area. The fence is an attempt to reduce or eIiminate this problem. Mr. Fritsinger noted the applicant apparently constructed the chain link portion of this fence in August. This was in response to both a labor strike and the problems stated above. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the barbed wire would be around the entire length of the fence. The applicant indicated, he is requesting that the south side and portion of the west side have the barb wire attached excluding the gate area. CounciImember Hicks questioned why only a portion of the fence and not all of the fence would have the barbed wire. The applicant indicated there is a greater problem of access on the south side due to the railroad tracks, and thicker brush, where sometimes the product is hidden until a later time when it is picked up. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired as to the objections of the Planning Commission. Mr. Fritsinger indicated their concern was the safety issues of barb wire and suggested alternative preventive measures, such as lighting. MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Hicks seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #95- 03; East Side Beverage Site Plan Fence request with the one foot high barbed wire along the south side and along approximately one-half of the distance of the west side starting from the south. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). PLANNING CASE #95-04: BETHF.T. COLLEGE SITE PLAN REVIEW Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant is requesting approval of additions to two academic buildings and a residence hall. The Planning Commission approved the plan subject to the two stated conditions.
