{sr ? ."ti. <br />, <br />she has continual harassment from her neighbors. The neighbors objected, and Mr. Gomersall stated <br />that this is not the issue and the board does not want to hear that. Mrs. Gutler stated that if there is a <br />code that says she cannot put this up, then she wants a variance to put it up. Mr. Gareau again stated <br />the Building Commissioner has deteimined that this is a fence, and it is not permitted because field <br />fencing and plastic fencing are not permitted. The board must agree or disagree with the Building <br />Commissioner's determination. Mr. Miller noted that the motion would be to uphold the Building <br />Commissioner's decision. Mr. Gareau advised that nothing in the code addresses deer fencing, but <br />field fencing or farm fencing are not permitted. So the issue becomes, is this or is it not similar to field <br />fence. Mrs. Cutler did questioned the write up that this is a plastic fence. She is asking permission to <br />use a mesh deer barrier. Mr. Gomersall stated that she is appealing the Building Commissioner's <br />decision that this is similar to field fencing. This is all the board is supposed to deal with. Mr. <br />Rymarczyk stated that if this is determined to be a fence, then a variance for the height would be <br />required. Mr. Klesta presented a letter from several neighbors objecting to looking at this kind of <br />fence. Mr. Kaufhold agreed. Mrs. Cutler has a letter from the neighbors on the other side stating that <br />they did not object to this fencing. W. Klesta stated he would not object if they put it on the other <br />side, but he did not want to look at it. Mr. Kaufhold stated that if a netting was put over a cherry <br />tree, it would not need poles and would be temporary. Mrs. Cutler stated that this would mainly be <br />supported by trees, there would only be one place where she would have to put in poles. Mr. Miller <br />questioned if they should refer to both field fencing and plastic fencing. Mr. Gareau stated that the <br />field fence had metal squares and the motion should refer to the type of fencing submitted. <br />P. Miller moved to uphold the Building Commissioner's decision that the specific type of fencing <br />submitted by the applicant is like and similar to field fencing which is not permitted by code. The <br />motion was seconded by R. Gomersall, and unanimously approved. Buildiug Commission's decision <br />was upheld. <br />Mrs. Cutler asked if she could put this around her trees and landscaping. She was advised that she <br />could, but was also advised that this was onl to be used during the growing season, which is <br />between the last frost of spring and the first frost of winter. She was advised she could not to put this <br />around her whole yard. Mrs. Klesta noted that Mrs.'s Cutler's whole yard was landscaped, only <br />about 10% was grass. <br />15. Homestead Village Hotel, 24851 Countr,y Club Blvd. <br />Re-consideration of condition of variance that rear wall sign could not be illnminated. <br />Originally heard October 1, 1997. <br />The members had previously voted not to allow the sign on the rear wall of Homestead Village to be <br />illuminated. After the meeting several of the members believed that they had made a mistake, since <br />there were other illuminated signs on the rear walls of the adjacent hotel and several restaurants along <br />I-480. Mr. Maloney stated that he frequently went into city's at night and the signs really were a good <br />guide line to him to where he should get off: He believed that the signs did help even though he did <br />have advance reservations. Mr. Miller objected that, even if other signs had been approved, there was <br />no reason to make the . same mistake. He, p ointed out that the councilman had advised that there <br />would be a pylon type sign between the ramp and Country Club Boulevard to help people locate <br />these businesses. Mr. Gomersall knew nothing of this sign or how big it would, be and believed that it <br />would help if council would advise them when signs were planned. He noted that the Hampton Inn <br />sign was about 6 floors up. He understood that the Radisson had agreed to not light their sign. Mr. <br />Purper stated that one neighbor advised him that those signs did not bother him at all and he rarely <br />noticed them. Mr. Miller disagreed. <br />8
