to install a new chain link fence on the side of their house. We have a drawing of it. <br />Staff didn't have any objections to it. It is going to look fine along the side of the house. <br />LYNN PATRICK: What is presently there now? <br />CATHERINE HOSTETLER: There is nothing there right now. They would like to <br />put the fence along the north side of their house. Homeowners, Ken and Nona Morse <br />were present. <br />KEN MORSE: The real reason we are doing this is that our house was built in the <br />1880's and the windows are really low to the ground and it is really easy to get into them. <br />People go through our yard because the alley comes in back there and they use it as a <br />short cut. We're really doing it for security reasons if nothing else. We have a fence now <br />that goes from the garage to the back of the house; which is a wooden fence. We would <br />like to put in a whole new chain link fence from the garage up to almost the front of the <br />house so those windows would be more secure. <br />LYNN PATRICK: You didn't bring any photos with you, did you? <br />KEN MORSE: No, we didn't. We just drew a diagram to show where we want to put <br />the fence. <br />LYNN PATRICK: Have you asked your neighbors if they have any problem with this <br />fence? <br />KEN MORSE: No, we have not. <br />LYNN PATRICK: Who are the neighbors on each side of you? <br />KEN MORSE: To the right of us is a rental property that Ron Farr owns and then on the <br />left is an alley and a vacant lot. <br />JOHN OXIAN: Is the fence going to come up to right behind the front porch? <br />KEN MORSE: Yes. <br />LYNN PATRICK: How tall is the fence going to be? <br />KEN MORSE: A standard four -foot chain link fence. The fence will actually be sixty- <br />four feet long. <br />LYNN PATRICK: I know we have had instances in the past where we have had <br />neighbors weighed in and send a note in letting us know if they have a problem with what <br />their neighbor is proposing to have done. Do you think the Fan's would have any <br />problems with this fence since it is going to directly impact their rental house possibly? <br />KEN MORSE: Quite frankly he has a problem with me all the time so he probably <br />would. They would still have access to their property I am not going to be blocking <br />anything off. There just has never been a fence there before. Mr. Farr currently has an <br />illegal fence right now on that property. You, (HPC), okayed a fence for him that was <br />not supposed to be installed in cement and he went ahead and installed it in cement <br />anyway. Now it is a mess over there. If you go back and look at the fence it is lying <br />down on the ground and it has been run over. He put the fence up on city property. The <br />fence is sitting on a vacant lot that he wants to build a house on; which is on the other <br />side of the alley where we live. <br />JOHN OXIAN: If this is the case then we should send our inspector, Wayne Doolittle, <br />out to check this out because he is violating a C of A. That is proper procedure because <br />violations like that, whether it is Ron Farr or anybody else, should be stopped or the fence <br />removed and put back in the proper way. I would recommend that Wayne Doolittle go <br />out and check on this and then the proper letter be sent to Ron Farr informing him that he <br />either does the work the proper way or we will make him remove the fence. <br />3 <br />
