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 the <br /> pipes may be cut to the proper length for a sign to conform to City ordinance. <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 /> 3. Salazar Variance Request <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 r <br /> g ( ) ( } 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 ry y b gu del ne to assist him in determining the location <br /> of the property line. <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 /> g <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 /> 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 corner of the garage and is not in the City's right -of -way. <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Mr. Palzer stated that previously other residents have requested variances for the exact same thing and <br /> II I were denied, as the old ordinance was in effect then which defined corner lots to have two front yards. <br /> ya ds. <br /> Mr. March questioned whether the intent of the Planning and Zoning Commission was to modify the <br /> ordinance to indicate corner 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 /> Council Liasion Broussard Vickers indicated she believed it was the intent of Council to modify the <br /> ordinance as it relates to corner lots and indicate that a corner lot would only have one (1) front yard. <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 p rovided the fence is on or inside <br /> Page 10 of 13 <br />
