PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL 382 Mayor Evans announced MINOR EX 77-25 - 2530 W. CENTRAL that this was the time CONTINUED TO OCT. 17 and place for the public hearing of Notice of Exemption and Appeal #382 of the denial of Minor Exception 77-2S to allow a 12-foot high chain link fence for a recrea- tional court in the rear yard of the residence at 2S30 West Central Avenue in the R1-PRD District. Senior Planner William Daugherty stated that the minor excep- tion would allow a fence to remain that is in excess of the six foot height permitted in a rear yard setback; that the fence is in conjunction with a basketball court; that there are two lights for evening activities; that the application was filed due to a complaint which had been received by a property owner south and west of the subject property at 2530 Central Avenue; that the General Plan indicates low density residential for the area; and that the application was denied by the Zoning Admin- istrator on September 9, 1977. The applicant, John Devers, stated that he had not completed the planned landscaping which would improve his yard a great deal; that the fence was constructed to prevent the balls from going into other yards; that three neighbors had given their verbal approval; and that he had not applied for a minor ex- ception because he had expected the contractor to take care of that matter for him. There being no further speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilman Brandt moved to grant Appeal #382 of the denial of Minor Exception 77-25 which was seconded by Councilman Ward. Following Council discussion a motion to amend the motion to require certain landscaping and the redirection of the lighting was made by Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Bricken and carried 5:1, with Councilman Yamamoto dissenting. The subsequent vote on the main motion to grant Appeal #382 of the denial of Minor Exception 77-25 failed to carry on a 3:3 tie vote, with Councilmen Garthe, Yamamoto and Mayor Evans dissenting. A motion to continue the matter to October 17, 1977, made by Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Bricken, carried 6:0 unanimously. The continuance would allow Councilman Ortiz to listen to the taped hearing and participate in the vote.
