RE: VE -4-02, Letter of Approval, Setback Variances for Fencing, Parcel Nos.
35232.4102, .4103, .4104 and .4105
On July 2, 2002 a public hearing was held on your application for variances from the
front yard setback requirements of the UR -3.5 zone, for non -sight obscuring fencing. At
the conclusion of the hearing, I left the record open to allow you to try and resolve the
concerns of a neighbor, Gordon Churchill, on the design of the fence.
On July 3, 2002, I received your letter to Mr. Churchill, which described how you would
address Mr. Churchill's concerns, and which letter was signed by Mr. Churchill as
agreeing to such proposal.
I will approve the application as proposed, subject to the conditions of approval attached
to the staff report and subject to the design of the fence as described in your letter dated
July 2, 2002.
This oral approval is subject to the entry of formal written findings, conclusions and
decision consistent with this letter. I will not be adding any other new conditions,
although there will be some minor rewording of certain conditions. The appeal period
will run from the date such written decision is entered.
Sincerely,
d,„„,
