P PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 28, 1986 PAGE 3 and the adjacent residences. The association had been unaware that they were required by Council to have a fence. Chairman Burns stated that the Law Department had advised him that only the Council could authorize a change in that stipulation since the fence h ad been required by them originally. Neighbors had several objections; condominiums are closer than originally planned, the residential lots are only 200' feet deep; fence has never been maintained; height of fence varies from 5 feet in some places to 32 in others; it will take 10 years for these small trees (36" high) to grow enough to be a barrier; when trees are fu11 grown.they will be encroaching into the residential yards; and the children from the condominiums are running into their yards. They stated they are not objecting to the.trees, but the want the portion of the fence which has been removed replaced, and,the want the re- mainder of the fence repaired and maintained. Mr. Chob an, also repre- senting Barton Woods,contended that the fence is 4 feet high and that the trees are 607 high. Mr. Morgan questioned why this is before this Commission when only Council can change the original stipulation. J. Brown moved to refer Barton Woods Condominium proposal to remove fence required by Council January 7, 1975 to Couneil with the recommendation that the proposal be disapproved, seconded by J. Bums'.

Thixty two spaces would be in excess of code requirements even if he has 55 seats. Mr.. Thesling is requesting a 24 month period before he removes a section of the building and in- stalls the additional drive, explaining that he plans to have valet parking and that his one way drive (102 feet wide) is immediately adjacent to a drive on the Volkswagon property next door and there has never been a problem with their using one anothers drive. Mr. Orban, representing Sisters` Chicken Restaurant which is to the•west, stated that because there are onlg 8 sp aces in the front of the b uild- ing, they are concerned that Fraulein's customers will be parking in their lot (this has happened with the present business in this building). Mr. Thesling stated that they do not want more parking in the front because they do not want_to disturb the lawn and trees that are there now.
