There's extensive landscaping around this structure right now and an in ground pool <br />9 <br />in the same location will be used more than the tennis court is. The tennis court is a bit old <br />300 <br />and dated and needed a lot of work to get it to be played on. In reference to some of the <br />301 <br />site along Jefferson Blvd, there is an extensive slope, probably 7 ft, that you really can't see <br />302 <br />the tennis court anyway. The only reason why you'd know that it was there is because <br />303 <br />there's a high fence towards the back of the yard. There's also one of the Studebaker cabin <br />304 <br />homes that's off of Sunnyside that blocks quite a bit of the site lines in that area as well. <br />305 <br />Klusczinski: Do you know when the tennis courts were installed? <br />306 <br />Place: I don't. I do know the owners said that they were there previous to them purchasing <br />307 <br />this home, more than 7 years ago. I can't say that they have spent extensive amounts of <br />308 <br />money on the property... <br />309 <br />Klusczinski: So they're relatively new, they're not original details? <br />310 <br />Place: What's that? <br />311 <br />Klusczinski: The tennis courts. <br />312 <br />Place: The tennis court is not new but a lot of the, there's a walkway and a pond and some <br />313 <br />other features that have gone in around it. <br />314 <br />Klusczinski: Ok. Any other questions for the petitioner? <br />315 <br />Zeiger: You're not proposing any new fences for around the pool? <br />316 <br />Place: I don't believe so, Tim, the landscaper, can... <br />317 <br />Hostetler: They're having a special covering on the pool. <br />318 <br />Zeiger: So the answer is no? <br />319 <br />Bowadiel (sp): No additional fences. <br />320 <br />Riley: The property is enclosed by a fence already, it's not secure but there is a fence there <br />1 <br />already. <br />2 <br />
