Mr. Dunlap came forward to review his request. Mr. Gomersall questioned why a building permit was not applied for and a 30-inch fence was not constnzcted. Mr. Dunlap indicated that he needed the fence for landscaping purposes as well as privacy for his family, and that he was not aware that a building permit was required for landscape structures. Mr. Gomersall indicated that there were two big fur trees that existed and didn't feel that high of a fence was required. He suggested a 30-inch high fence would be adequate. Mr. Maloney indicated tha.t he felt the height of the fence could be lower also as the height of the trees provide privacy. Mr. Dunlap indicated that he planed on digging up the left side of his garage and add a concrete slab to park his truck.

He suggested that the dirt taken from the lift side of the garage would be used in front of the fence to develop a landscaped mound and the existing trees would be relocated. Mr. Gomersall commented that Mr. Dunlap being a developer should have known he needed a building pernut to install a fence, but chose to install the fence anyway.

Mr. Kobema indicated that he didn't have a problem with the request and felt that if the neighbors did they would have been present to voice their concerns. Mr. Konold commented that he didn't have a problem with the request but felt that as Mr. Dunlap is a developer and he should have lnown to check with the building department and the code before doing the work. Mr. Kremzar inquired as to when Mr. Dunlap found out he needed a. pernut for the fence. Mr. Dunlap indicated that he was made aware of needing a permit when a building inspector stopped by his home and made him aware that he needed a permit to install a fence whether it was for landscaping or not.
