Council was referred to Planner's memorandum (3-24-87) reo fence height variance application, 1233 Karth Lake Drive. Planner Miller reviewed the request and recommended approval based on the fact the slope of the land renders a six-foot fence of limited value for screening views of Hwy. 96 and an eight-foot fence would have little or no negative . impact on the adjacent property. Miller referred Council to Board of Appeals minutes (3-26-87) and Planning Commission minutes (4-1-87); both recommending approval of the requested variance. Peck questioned if the variance request was for only the existing fence; if the fence were extended would it meet the Zoning Code requirements.
