<br />~ <br />~HILLS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />May 14, 2007 <br /> <br />CC Agenda Item 4.C <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />J_ L,hnhoff, Ci<y P"'~,r!I <br /> <br />Planning Case #: 07-011 <br />Rob & Jennifer Scott <br />4518 Pleasant Drive <br />Site Plan Review <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />Approve Planning Case 07-011 for a Site Plan Review at 4518 Pleasant Drive Based on the <br />Findings of Fact and the Submitted Plans as Amended by the Four Conditions in the May 14, <br />2007, Planning Case Report. <br /> <br />Backl!:round <br /> <br />The applicant's property, 4518 Pleasant Drive, is located approximately 575 feet south of the <br />Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue intersection. Their eastern (rear) property line is adjacent to <br />the Lexington Avenue right-of-way. To increase privacy and decrease noise from Lexington <br />A venue, the applicants are proposing to construct an eight foot fence along the eastern (rear) side <br />of the property facing Lexington Avenue. A six foot high fence would be constructed along the <br />southern and northern property lines; however, that does not require a site plan review. The <br />applicants have submitted a letter fully explaining their request along with a picture of the <br />proposed fence (Attachment 3B-I of the report to the Planning Commission). <br /> <br />The Zoning Code typically limits fence height to six feet; however, the average elevation of the <br />house and proposed location of the fence are approximately five feet below the elevation of <br />Lexington Avenue. Since the elevation of the road would be almost even with the top of the <br />fence, the applicant's are concerned that a six foot high fence would provide little privacy or <br />noise protection from Lexington Avenue. The Lexington Avenue right-of-way begins <br />approximately seventy feet from the rear of the house, and the road surface beings approximately <br />110 feet from the rear of the house. The slope up to Lexington Avenue is almost entirely within <br />the right-of-way. <br /> <br />\\Metro-inet.us\ardenhi/lslPlanningIPlanning Cases\2007\07-0/1 Scott Site Plan Review (PENDING)I05/407 - CC Reporl- Scott Site Plan <br />Review.doc <br /> <br />Page I of4 <br />
