well. Having a fence between us and the house next door, not that there's anything wrong with the house but it keeps people cutting through that yard into our house. Riley: Have the neighbors on the other side been told about your fence? Guisinger: No. I've been trying to contact Tom, though he's not frequently there, so I will do so as soon as we get the permit. Riley: I thought that we had to notes neighbors. Hostetler: Well, there used to be a fence here on that particular side where that neighbor lives. The fence is going to be basically... Guisinger: No, the 6ft fence is (unclear), the 4 ft fence is the one that, the 6ft fence where the people have the apartment building.... Hostetler: And there used to be a privacy fence here? Guisinger: Yes, Tom Green lives next door where... Hostetler: Where the 4ft fence is going to be. Guisinger: Yes, but I haven't been able to reach him. I've been told that he's also not... Klusezinski: Yes, that's very understandable. I live in the district, and I have some knowledge of Mr. Green. I think in order to stay germane to what we're to consider tonight it isn't necessarily any qualifications for permits or notifications. _ I think that would fall into the jurisdiction of the building commission, which I think that you would have to arrange your permit with them anyway I believe. At least as far as we're concerned, this is the fence design and the proposed tree with the respect to the guidebooks and standards for the district. Riley: The reason that I asked, and you may remember this, one of our neighbors was putting up a fence and the neighbors on either side were notified so we could come down and object or approve and we came before you and objected to something they were doing and you went along with it... Hostetler: We wouldn't have sent out those notices because that's not... they must have... Klusczinski: Applied for a building permit first. It's a procedural thing. Hostetler: I mean, we would never... Guisinger: I know that we're rushing to get this because we have been broken into in the last month, and one time earlier this summer. The fence is going to be for, to try to meet, unfortunately I haven't been able to speak to him but to meet any concerns. It's 4 ft on his side. It will not cover his window. Riley: Is that the side that you're talking about? Guisinger: Yes. This side is an empty house. We have an empty house between us and then the owner lives on the other side of that. And he has been slowly refurbishing the house and that's why been empty. The 4ftfence though won't cover up this window. Riley: And will that be painted or natural or what? Guisinger: I was going,to go natural so that it will turn gray and then at some point we will be able to paint the house to better go with the gray and not barbie pink. I know also that I'd prefer not to deal with a painted fence. - Klusczinski: Very good, any other questions? Would you be willing to clam on your application that staff would be remanded to help you make the choice of tree for the location when you finally decide to do that? Guisinger: They are welcome to pick the location. Klusczinski: Thank you. Guisinger: They can dig the hole too. Klusczinski: Any other discussion? Chair opens public hearing and for the record there are no members of the public left in the conference room, so in case anyone's in the hallway... in case anyone's in support or opposition of the current petition, they may come forward now. Seeing and hearing no one, Chair closes public hearing. Any additional thoughts or-discussion? Hearing none, is there a motion. Zeiger: I'll make a motion to approve 2008 -0814 as applied for. Riley: Second. wJ
