John Ankrum, the building official, explained that the application was submitted <br />incomplete and that the applicant does not have a hardship but wishes to use a <br />prohibited material to match the main structure. Ankrum states that the city <br />recommends denial. <br />Richard Lee, property owner of 1260 Clarksville, explains that the restaurant he is <br />building is a rustic theme and the material he chose is to match the building. Mr. Lee <br />presents the site plan of where the fence is supposed to go, keeping the existing wood <br />fence between the property and Kroger and explains the benefit of separating the <br />parking lot from the neighboring residents. Mr. Lee also mentions other properties <br />that have r -panel fences but explains that his fence will be capped and better <br />constructed. <br />Stephanie Harris, the City attorney, clarifies that the other mentioned fences made <br />of r -panel are at businesses where screening is required such as auto -body repair <br />shops and junk yards. Also, that the applicant has not shown a hardship to receive a <br />variance. <br />John Ankrum, the building official, clarifies the brief mention of the fence height <br />and location is not relevant to the variance application; it is simply a variance to the <br />material. <br />No one else spoke in favor or opposition. <br />Public hearing was declared closed. <br />Ruth Ann Alsobrook, David Hamilton and Benny Plata were in agreement that the <br />fence would not add beautification to the area and that the rustic theme could be <br />achieved with a wooden fence. Also, that there was no true hardship. <br />Motion was made by Ruth Ann Alsobrook, seconded by Benny Plata to deny the <br />variance to Section 11.5-3 (7)f of the Zoning Ordinance. Motion carried 3:1 with <br />Brady Fisher as the dissenting vote. <br />5. Meeting adjourned 12:22 p.m. <br />APPROVED THE 9TH DAY OF D <br />
