219 be visible. He is in total support of the fences. The following persons spoke in opposition to the fences: Mr. Herb Singleton, 2207 Martin Avenue, presented sketches, drawings, and pictures, showing the look of streets in the area. He felt the planting of larger trees as landscape would block the view of cars. He is concerned about the three foot staggered fence proposed by Mr. Brokow; he felt it should be at least six feet and suggested it be looked at further. He questioned the property lines and the seven foot setback. He referred to his letter to the Planning Commission dated June 4, 1988, which was included in the staff report. His concern is the loss of the rural atmosphere by the addition of the fences; he felt rail fences would be more appropriate than privacy fences. Mr. Dave Gonzales, 2215 Martin, stated this issue has gone on for two years between the landowners, developers, Planning staff, Planning Commission, and City Council; he felt Council should stand by the ordinance - to change at this point is not fair and would ruin the nature of the neighborhood. The developer knew the conditions of approval when he built the homes. Ms. Kathy Selway, 2313 Martin Avenue, representing homeowners in this area, stated the twenty five foot setbacks were to preserve the rural atmosphere. The builder approached the residents in the area years before with a list of wants and asked the property owners to work with him to accomplish the rural atmosphere. She stated they agreed to the twenty five foot setbacks so they would not have a tunnel effect. She stated they compromised on the interior lots in order that the street lots would not be changed. She stated Planning Commission and City Council agreed; now not to ahdere to the conditions of the PUD approval is a mockery to the political system. Mr. Alexander rebutted stating the original PUD was approved and Mr. Singleton was an owner at that time. He stated when the corner home was built as a model the setback was ten feet. He stated he then bought other property, in which Mr. Singleton was not involved, and built with the ten foot setback, which was the original PUD approval. There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed on this item. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Councilmember Wilson, that Ordinance No. 1386, to be read by title only and waiving further reading thereof, approving PUD-83-12-5M, application of bas Homes for a major modification to an approved development plan for an existing residential project to allow six foot fences to be constructed within seven feet of the property line on the street side of corner lots located on Lots 7, 11, 14, 15, and 19 of Tract 5445, on Martin Avenue, subject to conditions set forth in Exhibit B of Staff Report - 10 - 10-4-88
