Shirley Lauer, 2221 Martin, stated she did not feel that pushing the fence on Lot 7 back would make that much difference if the area were properly landscaped. She was opposed to wood fences and felt a compromise should be made. She favored more shrubs and a cyclone fence covered with bushes. She said she had no answer as to exactly where the fences should be. Gary Johnson, 3611 Cameron Road, felt that people in the newer homes have compromised. He felt the iD' setback would be okay for landscaping and preferred art open look in the landscaping. He stated the petition was not clear on what was wanted and stated that he preferred the iQ' setback.
