at the developer's expense. This is a beautiful project and she felt the fence would add to it. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to include a berm as high as possible that is aesthetically pleasing but that still provides screening, with trees on the berm; and to include a wrought iron fence with the height and location to be determined by the Planning Director. Ms. Dennis wanted to make certain the soil in the berm can support the trees that would be planted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Campbell, Dennis, Michelotti, and Mayor Pico NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mayor Pico, to require the applicant to pay the entire cost of a four-foot high fence. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Michelotti, and Mayor Pico NOES: Councilmembers - Campbell and Dennis ABSENT: None ABSTA1N None Ms. Dennis referred to the fence at Val Vista Park and was surprised that the City did not pay for the entire cost of it. Ms. McKeehan indicated the City planned to build and pay for a fence in a different location than the existing fence. The neighbors wanted the fence in the same place and of a better quality and a compromise was reached to share the cost. Mr. Campbell did not think the developer should have to pay for an existing City fence. If a condition is approved requiring a different fence, then he thought it was fair that the City pay for half of it. Mayor Pico indicated there are times when developers are asked to go above and beyond normal requirements to meet the needs of the neighbors. Mr. Campbell felt the developer had gone above and beyond by planting so many additional trees to make this site more valuable. It was moved by Mayor Pico, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to add a condition regarding a study of adding alternative energy options and to add them to the building when it is constructed.
