Summary

considered as proposed. Summarized the request for a preliminary site plan, stated that the applicant is
requesting the Planning & Zoning Commission approve a solid living screen in lieu of a masonry wall
along the southern and western property lines. Informed a letter of opposition was submitted by the
adjacent property owner. Recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.

Keith: Confirmed with the applicant that a solid living screening is desired.
Reverend Michael Gilton (Representative): Indicated they had reached out to adjacent property owner,
but were not able to make contact, and they did conduct a legal review of the deed restrictions.
McClung: Stated that he had reached out to the applicant and adjacent property owner and requested
communication between the various parties, as the Planning & Zoning Commission's scope of
consideration does not generally extend to matters of deed restrictions. Indicated that the western property
line has an existing retaining wall with future wooden privacy fences to be placed on top of it, and adding
an adjacent screening wall could create maintenance issues. Voiced support for the solid living screening
in lieu of a masonry wall along the western and southern property lines.
Barnes: Voiced support.
Keith: Voiced support.
Senkel: Voiced support.
Moody: Voiced support.
