<br />Ms. Stern suggested placing a gate at the Sycamore Road end. <br /> <br />Mr. Kavayiotidis stated that he recalls there being a chain-link fence going across at that <br />end. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank noted that he went by the property again today and does not <br />remember if there is a gate there or not. <br /> <br />Mr. Kavayiotidis replied that there is no gate, but there is currently a wooded fence <br />where a sound wall is being proposed <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank requested clarification that the strip will not be used for access at <br />all. <br /> <br />Mr. Kavayiotidis replied that it will be used only for underground utilities. He added that <br />they will not be using it and that they are not opposed to putting up a gate or fence <br />along Sycamore Road or on both ends of the strip. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pentin inquired if any improvements are planned in this area or if it will <br />remain a ten-foot strip. <br /> <br />Mr. Kavayiotidis replied that they do not have any plans for it and are leaving it the way <br />it has been the last five years. He added that they take care of the weeds annually as <br />required by Fire Department regulations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank requested confirmation from staff that weed abatement work is <br />required by the City and that no condition was needed for this. <br /> <br />Ms. Stern confirmed that was correct and added that staff could add the condition if the <br />Commission so desired. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pentin stated that his only concern is that a chain across <br />would stop someone from driving into it. <br /> <br />expressed concern that if the back lot is developed, and there <br />is no soundwall or fence along the strip, and the people next-door who access off of <br />Sycamore Road have no control over it, a simple annual weed abatement would not be <br />adequate maintenance. <br /> <br />next-door. <br /> <br />Ms. Soo said yes. <br /> <br />Chair Narum stated that the property on the other side is owned by the estate of <br />Mr. Wagner, who used to own the trailer park on Stanley Boulevard. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 12, 2011 Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br />
