Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 24, 2015 Page 36 as conditioned—should be installed at the northern edge of the property line if the easement language prohibits fence construction there, or installation at the north- ern edge of the easement point as the second option. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, City Attorney Gaughan agreed with the applicant's legal counsel that two weeks seemed a reasonable amount of time to obtain and verify easements. Councilmember Willmus suggested having this item return for formal action by the September 14, 2015 regular City Council meeting. Mayor Roe suggested, since the City Council condition was already memorial- ized, the only direction needed to staff was to clarify that the fence must be built on the property line or northern most point not encumbered by a utility easement. City Attorney Gaughan confirmed Mayor Roe's comments, including installation of coniferous plantings as part of that condition as well. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, clarification and direction to staff that the City Council's Interim Use condition of June 23, 2014, as referenced in the RCA dated August 24, 2015, that the opaque fencing of 6' to 8' in height, coniferous plant- ings, and landscaping will be installed along the northern property line in its en- tirety, unless easement agreement(s) preclude a fence from being installed at that point; and if so the installation will occur at the northernmost point allowed and tied into the eastern property line at that point. At approximately 10:00 p.m., Etten moved, Willmus seconded, extension of the curfew to finish this discussion, to hear the presentation and update related to the draft tree preservation ordi- nance amendments (Item 15.a), and to address any Councilmember initiated items for future meetings (Item 17). Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus, Etten and Roe. Nays: None. Willmus moved an amendment that if the easement requires fencing move to the south of the northerly property line, and if plantings are allowed on the easement in accordance with easement language, and if neighbors agree to it, plantings be located on the north side of the fence. Willmus further clarified the point, with agreement by the makers of the motion, that the plantings be placed on the north- ern edge of the fence, subject to easement requirements. The makers of the original motion agreed with that amendment, allowing for three possibilities to resolve this issue.
