that there has been no problem on the site for the past 30 years. Mike Radovich, 1820 Dale Court, explained his concern regarding landscaping needed to protect the house fonn Dale Street traffic especialIv near the comer. Site lines are one of his co�icerns. � " Thomas Paschke explained the traffic visibility triangle, 30 feet either side of a comer properry line at the intersection. Any plans for landscaping and fencing would be reviewed and regulated under a building permit. Chair Traynor noted that the property owner of Parcel B would need a site plan avd building permit for the house and fencing. A condition can be included for any landscaping ad fence review during the building permit application and review. Mr. Doherty explained that non- confarn�ing landscaping could be installed after the building is complete. Mr. RadOvich said the intersection is the only place the neighborhood can enter Dale Sn-eet to head north. Mr. I1iff explained that because of the wide Dale Street Boulevard, a 400 foot line of sight to the south is possible. Thomas Paschke explained how the city would enforce visibility along and around tl�e comer. �UI:P Ef±a, �dFj PI:leVle`.'V r'OUI'±, S�uid this is a busy iritPrce�t10:1, eVPI] ��.�.ih SCh00� hLSPS.

Mark Heffen, Alta Vista Drive, expressed concern for traffic safety. Fences and wildlife are a concern. There are up to 10 deer in this area. A fence will detour the deer. IN October and November the big deer movement is between 4;30pm and 5:30pm, The deer may jump into the right of way. A fence will create the deer run problems. The area is a heavy fog area in fall. The neighborhood is at least 50% over the age of 50, requiring more lines of sight for visibility. Dale Street is very fast. Thomas Paschke explained that nothing prohibits the current owner from installing a fence today. He explained that the land division with conditions will not be detrimental to the public. Member Boerigter said the minor subdivision and confined building area is troubling. The Commission should make a finding that the lot is buildable and irregular, but this is not a reason to grant a variance request. There should be no other variances on this site. Member Bakeman agreed. She recommended the need for a permit for any fence. Member poherty agreed with both. He expressed concem with the size of the buildable area; he is not sure what can be built on this lot. Member Boerigter expressed concenl that the next owner will not be aware of the Commission concerns. Member White supports the efforts because the city has policies and regulations in __.__ place to make this compatible. The owner (cun�ent) could do many fence and landscape improvements. He encouraged the Commission to look forward to a unique design, without further restrictions. RCA PF3655(082205) -Page 9 of 12
