Mr. Harris explained that this is now being addressed <br />at tentative map stage. Commissioner Lindsey then asked about <br />single homes being built and how their fencing is governed. Mr. <br />Harris explained that building permits are not required for <br />fences six feet or less in size and therefore it is difficult to <br />monitor fence construction, but the building department is <br />keeping an eye out as they inspect the homes. The problem with <br />this is that homes are generally finalled for occupancy prior to <br />the construction of fences. <br />The public hearing was opened. <br />Kay Daniels, 2706 Corte Bandera urged approval of this ordinance <br />code change. She stated it would allow her privacy and reduce <br />landscape maintenance. <br />John Peterson, 6190 Corte Del Rey, urged approval of the <br />ordinance code change. His fence is currently within a 5 foot <br />setback, and is quite attractive. He stated that a variance for <br />his fences was denied and the ordinance code change would allow <br />his fence to exist as it is currently constructed. <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />Commissioner Lindsey stated that the ordinance code change make <br />sense to him. He believes five feet vs ten feet is appropriate <br />and and would allow better landscaping maintenance of areas. <br />- 4 - <br />
