They explained that these are large dogs, and since children cut through their property, they are con- cerned that the dogs couldJump a 5 foot fence; the higher fence could also keep the children from climbing it. Several members have concerns since these dog runs have caused previous problems. Mr. Grace pointed out that this one is not right on the property line and he is concerned about the safety of the children. B. Grace moved to grant the 1 foot height variance . for a dog run for RoseMarie and Edward Doehring, 27880 North Park Dr, at " the location that is shown on the plan, seconded by R. Gomersall.

There is no change to what is existing, it has been used this way. Building Commissioner Conway explained that the truck loading zone for a new phase of this building conforms to code and would be large enough to service the entire plaza, but its location would not be convenient to the older portion of the building.
