- MINUTES OF REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, April 4, 1987 - 7:30 p.m. - Village Hall . CALL TO ORDER Pursuant to due call and notice thereof. Chairman Curtis called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Robert Curtis, Peter Martin, Calvin Meury, Scott Petersen, Rick Savage, Gary Thorn and Dorothy Zehm. Absent: Thomas Babcook, and Maurice Johnson. Also Present: Mayor Robert Woodburn, Councilmember Jeanne Winiecki, Planner Orlyn Miller and Deputy Clerk Catherine Iago. APPROVE MINUTES Moved by Meury, seconded by Savage, that the minutes of March 4, 1987, be approved as submitted. Motion carried. (Meury, Savage, Curtis, Martin and Zehm voting in favor; Petersen and Thorn abstained) (5-0-2) CASE NO. 87-06; Planner Miller reviewed the request for a variance from VAR. FROM FENCE fence height requirements, 1233 Karth Lake Drive. He HEIGHT, 1233 advised that the house is constructed at an elevation KARTH LAKE DR. approximately 2 ft. above the ground elevation at the fence, and the highway is at a higher elevation; the 6 ft. fence does not block the view of traffic on Highway 96. The applicant is proposing to increase the height of the fence to 8 ft., requiring a 2 ft. variance. The Planner commented that the proposed 8 ft. fence will not obstruct view from . the adjacent house. He recommended approval of the request due to that fact that an 8 ft. fence would have little or no negative impact on the adjacent property and the request can be justified because the slope of the land renders a 6 ft. fence of limited value for screening views of Highway 96. Planning Commission members were referred to the Board of Appeals minutes of 3/26/87, recommending approval of the requested variance. Member Savage asked Robert Larson if the additional two feet would be sufficient for his attempt to screen traffic. Larson stated the two feet would be sufficient; he advised that he did not think it would completely eliminate the view. Curtis asked if the applicant proposed to extend the fence in the future. Larson stated he may extend the fence at a later date, but he will not exceed the six foot height requirement if fence is extended. Moved by Zehm, seconded by Meury, that Commission recommend to Council approval of the 2 foot height variance for the fence at 1233 Karth Lake Drive, Case No. 87-06, because the adjacent properties will not be negatively impacted and because the land terrain prevents adequate screening of the highway view at a 6 foot height, as permitted by Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) .
