13. 'ZONING
I. Fence Exception
a. Case No.0109-01 - WITHDRAWN
ARC-Misty Winds MFtI) Housing Replace existing wooden
fence with chain link fence with privacy slats _
Sandalwood Subdivision,flock 1, Lot IR located at
5902 Ayers St.
Mrs. Farvice Goode-Macon stated the case has been resolved and has been
withdrawn. She states that Misty Winds manufactured homes subdivision has requested
from staff to exempt a fence to place a chain link fence with the slats. The ordinance does
provide that a fence must be placed between the residential and manufactured homes,but
does not specify the fence material type. However, it does state that the fence should
provide visual obstruction type of screening.
Public hearing opened.
Irene Arnadol', 6001 Beardmore Drive, states she has lived at this address for years_
She claims that the children from the manufactured homes subdivision have been
trespassing and jumping over the wooden fence onto her property. She states the children
have been vandalizing her landscaping,and feels that the damages will decrease the value
of her home.
Chairman Garza states usually the owner takes it upon themselves to put up their
own fence to divide the properties. He also states that if Mrs. Aluador lives near a
commercial tract,then the ordinance specifies it is necessary for the business to put up a
wood fence across 5-6 homes or along the tract.
Mrs. Goode-Macon states that Misty Winds is required to place a fence,but it is
the decision of the owner it'he/or she would like to build a fence higher than 6' of the
expected site according to the ordinance and would have to provide engineering for a fence
higher than seven feet.
Wayne Allen,Dallas Texas,representative of Misty Winds Manufactured Homes,
states approximately 4300 square feet needs to be replaced. He also stated 2500 square feet
fronts a drainage canal and the backside is vacant property where a chain-link fence would
be placed. Mr. Allen states they want to be good neighbors and have no problem placing a
wooden fence. However,because of the vandalizing and graffiti issues, a wooden fence
would just be a target. ] [e states the reason he chose a chain-link fence with slats is
because he wouldn't have to worry about the graffiti.The vandalism and graffiti is a
coming from both subdivisions, not just the manufactured home subdivision.
Public hearing closed.
The Planning Commission recessed at this point.
