E. <br />The public hearing was declared open. <br />Stacey Harris, 1145 15th Street S.E., stated her house was being leveled and <br />was not finished until May. The proposed fence will be a 40" wooden picket <br />fence to replace railroad ties that are currently in the yard, and it will be <br />painted white. The fence will be placed 2 feet inside of the property line, and <br />it is needed to keep stray animals and kids out of the yard. Ms. Harris further <br />stated she has spent a lot of money on yard plantings and kids are pulling up <br />her flowers. There are other fences along the street. The proposed fence has <br />been moved from another location, but is in good condition and will be <br />painted. <br />Linda Reyes, 1155 15th Street S.E., stated she is the mother of the applicant. <br />Her daughter has done a lot of hard work on the property, and the fence will <br />keep dogs from digging up the dirt they moved in to level the yard. <br />Y 000-020 <br />
