Farrand, Director, Department of Public Works; advised the Board by letter that the matter of a fence encroachment at 807 N. Olive Street, on property owned by Benedict Leyba, had been before the Board last fall. The Board, at that time, determined that this was an encroachment and concurred with a complaint that the fence did restrict sight distance and impose a safety hazard at the intersection of Olive and Prast. The attorney for the owner had called attention to other sites in the city where the same situation was alleged to exist and the Board took the matter under advisement. The City has investigated many of the sites and determined that, in large part, these are sites where the property owner is, in fact, on his own property. Mr. Farrand recommended that the Board notify the property owner that this matter will be discussed at a public hearing and that the Board consider requiring.the property owner to relocate the fence away from the sidewalk line, so that r" visibility will not be impaired and the fence will not pose a potential hazard to pedestrians. Upon motion made by Mr. Farrand, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the recommendation was approved and the Board set the matter of the fence encroachment at 807 N. Olive Street for a hearing on Monday, July 12 at the regular meeting of the Board.
