2. The subject fence is consistent with the existing fence on the subject property.
3. The subject fence is constructed of quality materials and enhances the appearance of the
subject property.
4. The proposed fence will provide privacy for the applicant due to the grade change between
the subject property and the adjacent property.
5. The conditions of approval provide for a reasonable solution to resolve the aesthetic concerns
of the adjacent property owner.
6. The conditions of approval require the applicant to modify the fence which will improve the
visual transition between the existing fences on the adjacent property.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The requested fence exception does not impair pedestrian or vehicular safety.
2. The requested fence exception results in a more desirable layout of the applicant's property.
The establishment, maintenance, and/or operation of the use applied for will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious
to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
