I am very much concerned about the <br /> aesthetics along the East Race and feel the proposed fence will not detract <br /> from the environment. We have installed a small section of the fence at <br /> the flood gates for review. <br /> Your approval of this ordinance will be appreciated. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIc_ PARKS <br /> :mes R. Seitz, <br /> OP( <br /> Enclosure <br /> JRS:dlm <br />
