`A solid opaque cedar fence approximately 6.5' in height shall be installed on the northern edge of the property and as clarified by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals on January 25, 2016. " Condition 2 as stated: `All required screening shall be installed no later than June 30, 2016." Condition 3, amended to read: "Production area doors shall be closed during limited production and processing operations." Staff Summation / Update As detailed in the staff report dated April 6, 2016, '-� �� - - � -_ � summarized staff's further due diligence in whether or not a fence could or should be constructed within the easement located along the north side of the Vogel property. As noted in lines 6 through 19, ':' advised that staff has since concluded that there is conflicting information as to whether or not that fence should be constructed near the existing underground cable line or within the easement. Although some representatives of Century Link have given permission to construct the fence within the easement area and within 2' of the existing cable line, �,'� ^: reported that Planning staff believes such an endeavor may not be in the best long-term interest of the property owner, since there is no guarantee the fence may not be damaged or portions removed at the owner's expense should maintenance of that underground cable be necessary, without receipt of written permission and guarantees from senior representatives within CenturyLink. Also as outlined in the staff reoort, ',' ��.:ol :� � noted that the City's Police Department representative Corey Yunke had been consult2d regarding concerns about adequate separate beiween the Vogel fence and fences installed by adjacent residential property owners. �:ls " ,: reported t"at N1r. Yunke in�icated minimal to no public safety concerns based on placement of thosa fences if the Vogel fence is 5' to 10' south of the property !ine and neighbors installed f2rces at their rear yard property lines. During her comments; ��,�s Cci�� ^ displayed an aerial map of 2830 Fairview Avenue, showing three possible fence locations by color that was referenced throughout the remainder of tnis discussion; and was provided as a bench handout, attached hereto and made a part hereof. c Yellow fine - On the Vogel property line o Pink line — 10' off the Vogel property line o B�ue line — between the Vogel property line and parking lot (approximately ha'f�,vay between) screening the parking area. �' � �; advised that the remainder of the staff report was self-explanatory; and concluded his comments and standing for questions of the Commission. Commission Discussion/Deliberation Chair Boguszewski stated his hesitancy to proceed with the original amended motion based on ''� :_ � update and the unfeasibility of Option B and installation of the fence on the northern edge of the property line on the easement over buried cable. If that option was allowed, Chair Boguszewski questioned if it would put Vogel Mechanical at significant financial risk if future repair or replacement of the underground cable was necessary, leaving them no recourse. Chair Boguszewski noted that the uncertainty of this had been one of his areas of concerns and part of his rationale in moving to table action at the March Commission meeting until more certainty around the realities of that option and whether or not it was actually viable.
