'!here have been a number of lawsuits and conflicts between these neighbors for the past three years. Mr. Miller has recently negotiated a tentative agreement relative to the settlement of the most recent lawsuit. Through a mediation process an agreement was reached that would be subject to the approval of the City Council. . Attached is a copy of this agreement. You should pay particular attention to Page 1, #1 which calls for the construction of a solid fence between the property . '!his portion of the agreelOOl1t is inconsistent with Section VI,E,4,C of our Zoning ordinance which requires that all fences shall be at least 30 percent open f= passage of light and air except screening for mechanical equipment. The iInplementation of the agreement would require a granting of a variance which Mr. Miller has indicated to be appropriate to allow both parties a reasonable use of their land. Because of some recent problems between the parties, it has been requested that this agreement be approved as soon as possible. staff reviewed the agreement with the Planning Commission and due to the nature of the Court Order it was agreed that a review by the Planing Cammission was unnec,,"ssary. staff would reconunend approval of this agreelOOl1t and variance with the condition that should Ms. Flynn move or no longer continue to own a do;r, the fence be rebuilt consistent with the city's Zoning Ordinance. . -- ____n
