Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 17, 2024 Page 8 Councilmember Strahan understood through multiple comments from the public that people were frustrated with the view and she wanted to make sure if there was a right or things in a neighborhood that cannot be changed. Ms. Tierney indicated she was not aware of any rights of the public regarding views. Councilmember Etten wondered if staff could speak to the timing of the vacation process and how that affects the resolution before the City Council. Mr. Freihammer explained the draft resolution of denail was modified from what was originally in the packet to require removal of the fence by July 15th instead of July 8th. Depending on the action the Council would take at the July 8th meeting, July 15th still could be held as a date or it could be modified. Mayor Roe indicated if the Council does grant the appeal from the applicant,he did not know if there needed to be findings of fact. Ms. Tierney reviewed the protocol for granting the appeal, including a requirement for findings, which should be articulated as part of the action and memorialized in a subsequent resolution approved by the Council. Groff moved, Etten seconded, Adoption of Resolution No. 12076 entitled, "Resolution of Decision of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals Concerning the Appeal by Eric Carrara of 257 South McCarrons Boulevard to Revocation of a Fence Permit and Order to Remove a Fence." Council Discussion Councilmember Groff stated he appreciated all of the comments by the public as well as the information from Mr. Carrera and his attorney. He indicated it is obvious that the permit application was not complete and should not have been granted. But, he did think there was enough information missing from the permit application and he was going on the City Attorney's advice that this is an option the City has. Councilmember Etten asked if the Council was amenable to adding the second piece to the motion indicating: "The fence East of the driveway is located on other parties'property". Mayor Roe wondered if that sentence could be added to item 5 of the denial resolution. Ms. Tierney offered a revision "...and is on property not owned by the applicant".
