I
think
Cassie,
give
opening
discussion
of
the
application
and
then
have
the
applicant
Caleb
describe
the
nature
of
your
request
and
any
other
information
you'd
like
me
to
have
then
I'll
open
up
the
meeting
for
public
comment
and
other
input
and
then
I
will
bring
it
back
to
you
Caleb
for
any
closing
remarks.
Okay!
Does
that
make
sense
to
everyone?
D
C
C
D
Actually,
I
have
it,
on
my
other,
not
sure
how
that
happened,
but
it's
presenting
on
my
other
screen.
So
that's
why
it's
double-sided
here,
but
we'll
just
proceed
the
properly
the
subject.
Properties
location
is
7
14
and
760
North
900
West
here
in
the
orange
Block,
it's
in
a
multi-family,
RMF,
35
Zone,
and
it's
the
downtown
west
apartment
complex
located
in
Rose
Park
and
the
subsequent
master
plan.
D
They
currently
have
a
six
foot
funds
along
the
side
corner
yard
here
that
somewhat
encroaches
into
the
front
yard
as
well,
and
they
would
just
like
to
maintain
that
consistency
along
the
front
yard
and
also
have
this
fence
for
security
reasons
which
they've
provided
proof
of
in
the
staff
report,
the
code
requirements
for
offenses
in
the
front
yard.
They
cannot
exceed
four
feet
in
the
front
yard,
but
may
go
up
to
six
feet
in
the
corner
side
and
rear
yards
beyond
the
primary
facade
of
the
principal
structure.
D
D
There
also
used
to
be
something
called
the
special
exception
process
where
an
applicant
was
able
to
possibly
get
a
six
foot
tall
fence
in
that
area
if,
when
going
through
that
process,
so
we
also
have
no
record
of
that
happening
to
this
property.
So
from
staff's
standpoint
that
this
is
an
illegally
constructed
fence
on
the
neighboring
property.
D
So
obviously,
but
we
can't
build
something
that
matches
like
an
illegal
structure
so
going
through
the
variant
standards.
The
request
has
to
meet
all
of
the
standards
in
order
to
be
granted
of
variance,
and
these
are
some
general
standards
for
zoning.
In
the
general
plan.
There
have
to
be
circumstances
peculiar
to
the
property
itself
that
the
property
is
unique
to
those
in
this
Zone
and
those
surrounding
it
why
it
needs
this
special
variance.
D
D
So
and,
as
I
covered
in
more
detail
on
the
staff
report,
there
are
really
no
special
circumstances
attached
to
this
property
that
don't
apply
to
all
the
other
properties
in
the
surrounding
area
and
the
zoning
district.
There
are
no
defining
physical
characteristics
of
this
property
in
terms
of
size,
shape
or
topography.
D
That
would
cause
this
hardship
that,
where
a
six
foot
fence
would
be
required
to
alleviate
this
hardship
and
so
and
that
hardship
does
not
come
from
any
particular
circumstances
related
to
the
property,
but
is
more
of
just
from
the
general
conditions
of
the
neighborhood,
which
the
standards
explicitly
say
cannot
be
granted
of
variance
for
those
things
So.
Based
on
these
reasons,
the
staff
is
recommending
a
denial
basis
on
the
fact
that
it
just
doesn't
meet
those
standards
for
a
variance.
F
F
You
know
we
provided
proper
setbacks
to
the
fence
things
along
those
lines.
So
that's
really
kind
of
you
know.
Our
Our
concern
is
just
the
the
crime
and
you
know
doing
what
we
possibly
can
for
not
only
the
residents
of
downtown
west,
but
the
residents
of
that
area
on
just
providing
a
little
bit
more
security.
C
F
E
F
F
You
know,
as
the
the
GCI
really
don't
know,
the
history
of
the
property.
That's
obviously
something
Brian
would
know
more
of,
and
you
know
it
was
just
you
know,
knowing
that
we
are
the
ones
to
go
about
this
and
trying
to
do
it.
The
right
way
obviously
wants
to
step,
in
behalf
of
the
client,
to
obviously
award
them
on
what
they
you
know
had
contracted
us
to
do.
F
So,
that's
obviously
why
we're
here,
and
so
you
know,
the
concern
that
we
obviously
saw
just
talking
with
the
client
was
mainly
the
the
crying
bite.
I'm
sure
Brian
would
like
to
add
some
more
insight
to.
You
know
those
types
of
things
knowing
that
he
knows
a
little
bit
more
about
the
asset
or
you
know
the
property
than
we
as
the
general
contractor.
Do
okay,.
C
E
E
My
name
is
Brian
Leon
I
am
a
representative
of
the
company
that
owns
the
property
downtown
west.
The
just
wanted
to
just
sort
of
our
appeal
really
is
mostly
based
off
safety
or
our
residents,
our
employees,
the
public
and
then
those
responders
that
come
to
the
property.
That's
really
the!
What
buttress
is
a
lot
of
this.
There
are
other
considerations
like
cost,
but
this
property,
when
you
look
at
the
crime
stats,
is
the
highest
call
for
Police
Service
in
town,
we're
trying
to
be.
E
There
are
several
parked
cars
and
RVs
whom
are
dealing
drugs
out
of
them
and
they
come
onto
our
property
and
damage
our
property
and
break
into
it.
There's
a
significant
amount
of
homeless
along
700
North
wrapping
up
towards
the
Rose
Park
neighborhood
center
during
the
Cold
Nights
gosh
I
feel
for
them.
They
come
in
though,
and
they
break
our
doors
and
they
seek
warm
shelter
in
our
hallways
and
in
our
laundry
rooms
we
are.
E
E
The
and
I
do
understand
what
the
zoning
orange
is
trying
to
do
with.
I
was
trying
to
create
this
makeup
for
the
community,
we're
just
trying
to
solve
a
problem
that
exists
or
residents
and
of
the
community.
That's
around
it.
So
while
we
certainly
understand
the
strict
standards
that
are
that
do
exist,
do
you
know
that
we
are?
E
E
That
get
their
way,
but
they
didn't,
they
didn't
try
to
do
it
the
right
way
and
so
we're
asking
as
the
most
problematic
property
in
town.
Can
you
help
us
out,
so
we
can
secure
and
become
not
the
most
called
First
Service
property.
It's
all,
there's
I
understand
the
logic
in
the
and
the
standards
that
you
helped
to,
but
we're
just
sort
of
that's
our
argument.
C
C
Okay,
I
think
sometimes
when
people
hear
the
word
variants,
they
think
it
means
that
the
hearing
officer
in
this
case
me
gets
to
Simply
vary
what
the
ordinance
says.
But
my
basic
remit
under
the
law
is
to
enforce
the
ordinance
and
to
see
that
the
elements
of
the
ordinances
map,
whether
I
would
like
it
or
anyone
else,
would
like
it.
I'm,
not
a
policy
maker
and
I.
C
Don't
have
any
policy
Authority
or
the
authority
to
vary
what
the
city
council
has
passed
as
the
written,
ordinance
and
I
understand
your
reasoning
for
wanting
the
fence,
but
it's
not
within
my
authority
to
go
outside
the
elements
of
the
ordinance
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
deny
the
request.
I
will
reduce
my
decision
into
writing
in
the
next
week
or
so.
