PUBLIC HEARING; APPEAL $313 The Mayor opened the public MINOR EXCEPTION 7Z-Z3 hearing on Appeal #313 filed LOUIS F. OLIVAREZ by Louis F. Olivarez, appeal- ing the Zoning Administrator's denial of Minor Exception 7Z-23 to construct a fence, 6'6" high, in the front setback area at 523 and 605 North Jenkins Street. The Director of Planning showed a slide of the zoning in the neighborhood and passed the file around to Council so that they could see the quality of fencing .involved. He stated that he had sent notice of the Minor Exception application to the residents of the four abutting lots and had received no written or verbal protests. The following persons spoke in favor of the appeal: George Verene, 6 02 North Jenkins Clara Verene, 602 North Jenkins Dolores Hernandez, 519 North Jenkins Joe Flores, 446 South Flower Denzil Tadlock, 609 North Jenkins The proponents stated that the fence was beautiful; that it improved the neighborhood and was an asset to the community. Cart J. Forbes, 610 North Jenkins, stated that his only objection to the fence was its height; that Mr. Olivarez had known at the time he built it that there was a 4 foot limit; that he had not been allowed to put up a five foot fence and wondered why another man could put up a six foot fence. Mr. Louis F. Olivarez, the appellant, presented photographs of his fence to Council.
