There were none. <br />Planning Manager Challacombe discussed problems with <br />the present Ordinance regulating fences and the need for <br />changes in procedures. He noted that Zoning Manager Dewey <br />Walker has strong feelings on the enforcement aspects of the <br />Fence Ordinance. <br />Mr. Walker agreed that he does have problems and that <br />we have been inconsistent in issuing permits for fences. He <br />confirmed that the list of over 90 fences submitted by <br />Attorney Horst has been investigated, and some of these were <br />granted by the Variance Board some years ago. He continued <br />that the Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission also <br />feels there is a need to revise the Fence Ordinance and has <br />asked for a review. Mr. Walker favored the staff <br />recommendation that Mr. Bartsch be allowed to erect his <br />fence which is visually compatible with the surrounding <br />area, especially since other permits have been issued in <br />JUN 16 1982 POoK 5.0 PALE 73 <br />72 :. <br />
