(5-0) CASE #91-14; AMEND SUP, FENCE, ARDEN MANOR IDBILE HavJE PARK, JOHNSON Council was referred to the Planner's report and Planning CoImnission minutes dated 9-4-91, relative to the application f= an amencled Special Use Permit to allow chain link fencing of the storage area in the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, Case #91-14. '!be Planner outlined the previous amendment to the Arden Manor Mobile Henne Park SUP which was recently approved by Council to allow vinyl siding in the park. He explained that during review of the previous application it was noted that the fencing of the storage area was not in compliance with the originally approved SUP; the area was to be screened with a 5 foot high wooden fence. Bergly stated the park manager indicated he was not aware of the wooden fence requirement and that the chain link fence was installed several years ago to provide visual security and for ease of maintenance. He advised the manager of the park is now requesting an amendment to allow the chain link fence for security and maintenance purposes. Bergly noted the Planning Conunission discussed the matter at length, during the public hearing, and it was determined that the chain link fence provides visual surveillance for articles stored in the facility. He stated the applicant sul::mitted docrnnentation from residents surrounding the storage area, which indicates the residents favor the visibility provided by the chain link fence. 'Ihe Planner stated the Commission recommended the chain link fence be allowed, with the installation of some landscaping along the west and north side of the fence to provide some softening of the fence and still maintain the visibility for security purposes. Commission further recommended the management of the park provide four = five deciduous shrubs, approximately 4 feet high, behind each of the IOClbile home units which are adjacent to the storage area on the west and north. He identified the berm along the east side of the fencing and the dense vines; noted this provides a fairly effective screen for neighbors to the east. Bergly recommended issuance of the vinyl siding permits be allowed after the management has sul::mitted a bond for the landscaping, rather than upon campletion of installation of the shrubs. It was also recommended that the manager of the park provide the City with some recarnmendations f= increased security of the storage area. Planner Bergly noted if this type of storage facility were to be located in a residential neighborhoOO., the city would most likely require screening.
