The City received two responses favoring approval of the request. <br /> <br />B. PROPONENTS <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman Capen swore in Tina May, of 10849 E. Linwood Dr. Ms. May informed <br />the Board she was unaware a permit was required to replace an existing fence, nor did <br />she realize there was a height restriction for fences. Due to erosion, two rot boards were <br />used, which resulted in the fence being taller. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman Capen swore in John May, of 10849 E. Linwood Dr. Mr. May concurred <br />with the information provided by Ms. May. <br /> <br />C. OPPONENTS <br /> <br />There were none. <br /> <br />Motion by Rod Rothermel to approve Variance V#07-003 allowing an existing, non-permitted, 7' <br />high fence to remain in place on the property located at 10849 Linwood Drive with the stipulation <br />that a permit be obtained at double the normal fee as allowed by the building code for non- <br />permitted work. <br /> <br />Second by Gilbert Montemayor.
