Mr. Ken Brokow, 1712 Martin Avenue, stated that not all the houses will be tilted so that is not a valid reason to stay within 10 feet. As a taxpayer he has a CT...,.L~u. ZrLit'y in~ in ~aeping tb~ area beautiful. He stated he is concerned about the type of f~, over a period of time all f~ deteriorate. The crux of the matter is, as hc~eowners they have agreed to a plan of 25 foot setback that is being kick~_~__ hack to 10 feet, it cuts into the landscaping in that area which they are not required to do under normal circuS. He feels they should be able to have the 10 foot setback and Mr. Herb Singleton, 2207 Martin Avenue, resident for 11 years, stated there has been change and ccmprumise in the neighborhood in recent years. One of the things that ba-~ prc~ this is' that the neighbors were told in writing that these were to be custam homes, and it has ended up as a tract. They thought there would be L and U shaped hcmBs on corner lots; to allow the hc~es to be on an angle which the ~ says, is how the 25 foot setback originated. This was done to give some latitude in landscaping and be able to hide the fence. He took exceptions to Lot 7 because the fence is quite long down Nicole Avenue. Tba owner of the property took title on February 29, 1988, so he would have to take exception to Mr. Stern's cuu.,~ent that regarding fence setbacks. He personally did confront Mr. Brokow prior to his pouring the concrete on the posts showing him a copy of the modification, so he was aware that he was putting the fence in i~properly. About three times the people were in favor of 25 foot setbacks versus the number of people who signed the petition wanting to move it back. The people who wanted the 10 foot setback were only the affected people, none of the neighbors wanted it. He stated that the fences on Cameron that are set back 25 feet or over look great. That illustrates what most of the residents in the area want. He stated that if bas Homes misrepresented themselves to some of the people then some compensation to those homeowners might be in order. He stated for the oa~Dn good of the neighborhood the 25 foot setback should be retained. He stated that rail or cyclone fences would be ideal. He would also support 30" high fences. There being no further testimony, Mayor Marcer declared the public hearing closed on this item. After discussion, it was moved by Counci~ Wilson, and seconded by Oounci~ Brandes, that Resolution No. 88-352, denying FjD-83-12-5M, application of bas Homes for a major modification to an approved development plan for an existing residential project to allow 6 foot fences to be constructed within 7 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, be adopted.
