<br />Commission Member Kilian stated it was his preference that County Bank put in the footings and leave <br />the pipes long enough for a larger sign should the sign be approved and if the sign is not approved th <br />pipes may be cut to the proper length for a sign to conform to City ordinance. <br /> <br />Motion by Commission Member Brainard. seconded by Commission Member Kilian to <br />recommend to Council denial of County Bank's request for a sign variance. Ayes - 4 Nays - 3 <br />(DeVine. Sheppard. McLean). Motion carried. <br /> <br />3. Salazar Variance Request <br /> <br />Commission Member Kilian questioned whether Mr. Palzer had told Mr. Salazar the property line began <br />twelve (12) to fourteen (14) feet from the curb. Mr. Palzer indicated he had told him his property line <br />began twelve (12) to fourteen (14) feet from the curb as that is an approximate for a normal setback. He <br />also indicated it is the responsibility of the homeowner to locate the property line and that the <br />. information received from the City should only be a guideline to assist him in determining the location <br />of the property line. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers noted it is the responsibility of the property owner not the City to <br />determine where the property line is before commencing work. She stated she does not support leaving <br />the fence in the right-of-way as the City did take steps via a certified letter to inform the Salazars a <br />variance may be required. <br /> <br />Commission Member Kilian stated his approval for the variance to allow a six (6) foot fence provided it <br />did not go beyond the back comer of the garage and is not in the City's right-of-way. <br /> <br />Commission Member McLean questioned Mr. Palzer's preference on the matter. Mr. Palzer stated it is <br />his preference to keep the fence out of the right-of-way to avoid problems in the future. <br /> <br />Commission Member DeVine questioned whether Mr. Salazar would be required to move the sprinkler <br />system if the City requests he move the fence out of the right-of-way. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commission that any costs associated with the relocation of fence outside of <br />the right-of-way was the Salazar's responsibility. <br /> <br />Mr. March state that Mr. Salazar had indicated if the City does not grant the variance he will not put the <br />fence up "because the City won't let him." <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer stated that previously other residents have requested variances for the exact same thing and <br />were denied, as the old ordinance was in effect then which defined comer lots to have two front yards. <br /> <br />Mr. March questioned whether the intent of the Planning and Zoning Commission was to modify the <br />ordinance to indicate comer lots did not have two (2) front yards. If so, the six (6) foot fence would be <br />allowed because it would be in the side yard. <br /> <br />Council Liasion Broussard Vickers indicated she believed it was the intent of Council to modify the <br />ordinance as it relates to comer lots and indicate that a comer lot would only have one (1) front yard. <br /> <br />Motion by Commission Member Kilian. seconded by Commission Member McLean to <br />recommend to Council to grant the variance for the 6-foot fence provided the fence is on or inside <br /> <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
