- Commissioner Maas moved to deny the appeal, make the endings for aseven-foot tall fence, and approve PADR-909 as conditioned in the staff report and subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B. Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion. Commissioner Arkin noted that his preference was to approve asix-foot high fence and added that he did not approve of the deceptive practices displayed in this case. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Mr. Iserson replied that building a seven-foot tall fence on the original grade would be a cleaner solution. Because Mr. D'Arcy installed the wall, he believed that either option would be acceptable, as long as the fence height did not exceed seven feet.

He noted that it was staff's intention to ensure attractive, functional, and distinctive signs at the City's key entry roadways. He added that anti-graffiti sealant would be applied to the signs.
