Referring to one of the pictures displayed, Commissioner Pentin requested confirmation <br /> that the fence started to deteriorate in 1998 and inquired how many years it has been in <br /> this state of disrepair. <br /> Mr. Baker replied that the fence was in this present state for two or three years. He <br /> noted that he could see the rear neighbor one property down from his house. <br /> Commissioner Pentin expressed concern about this condition and asked Mr. Baker if he <br /> thought it was reasonable to have no fence. <br /> Mr. Baker said no. <br /> Mr. Pretzel stated that the Code does not require a seven-foot tall fence for swimming <br /> pools and that a six-foot tall fence is applicable. He noted that Ms. Fink's back yard <br /> fence is by Mr. Deike's pool, and there was a period of time when Mr. Deike had no <br /> fence or latches around his pool. He added that it was only until this time last year that <br /> the fence became illegal and was cited as such by Code Enforcement. He indicated <br /> that his red fence meets the Code. <br /> Commissioner Olson inquired if the photo submitted by Mr. Baker was current. <br /> Mr. Pretzel said yes. He added that the picture;was taken from his property and that the <br /> fence had basically been coming down since a winter storm in January. <br /> Commissioner Olson asked Mr. Pretzel if he owns the fence. <br /> Mr. Pretzel replied that it is a common fence. <br /> Commissioner Blank noted that it is the same picture as that submitted by staff but <br /> taken from a different.angle. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING'WAS CLOSED <br /> Commissioner Blank requested staff to present a history of actions and approvals for <br /> this fence. <br /> Ms. Rondash replied that Mr. Deike applied and was approved for a six-foot, six-inch tall <br /> fence between his property and that of Mr. Pretzel in 1998, with a condition that the <br /> mow strip located on Mr. Pretzel's property be maintained. She noted that Mr. Deike <br /> did not build the fence because he was not agreeable to the maintenance of the mow <br /> strip. She indicated that in January 2011, the fence was beyond repair and needed to <br /> be replaced. <br /> Commissioner Blank inquired if any approvals were granted between 1998 and 2011. <br /> DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 12-14-2011 Page 4 of 6 <br />
