ZONING AGENDA:

 

1.         WS-0448-15 – 4 US ASSET PROTECTION IRREVOCABLE TRUST:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:  1) increased fence height; and 2) allow alternative screening (corrugated metal fence) in the front yard in conjunction with a future single family residence on 1.2 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (AE-60) Zone.  Generally located on the south side of Raven Avenue, 800 feet west of Valley View Boulevard within Enterprise.  SB/gc/ml  (For possible action) 09/01/15 PC

PREVIOUS ACTION

Enterprise TAB August 12, 2015: HELD to the August 26, 2015 TAB meeting per agreement with the applicant for the applicant to present further documentation in form of photographs of proposed fencing. (Previously heard)

 

DENIED

 

The TAB recommends this application be denied. 

 

The TAB considered the following:

·   The applicant desires a 8 ft. metal fence surrounding the entire property.

·   The fence adjacent to the Raven Ave. would be 3 ft. decorative block with 5 ft. of wrought iron.

·   The applicant presented a wooden cross section model.

·   No pictures of an installed metal fence were presented.

·   The fence would be painted.

·   The applicant justified height with security concerns and protection from coyotes.

·   Part of the justification is other higher fences in the area.

·   The highest examples were east of I-15 and not related to this area.

·   Neighbors present are opposed to the fence height and design.

·   There is a possibility that the paint will not hold up in the sun.

·   The 8 ft. height will not stop coyotes.  A different design is required.

·   Current resident, long term, stated coyotes are not a problem.

 

The TAB opinion is the applicant did not meet the objective of Urban Land Use Policy # 16. 

“All  new  perimeter  walls,  fences,  driveways,  trails,  and  other  surfaces  should  be  decorative.  Encourage designs to visually minimize the stark appearance of a monotonous block wall face and should  use  alternative  materials  made  from  renewable  and  recyclable  sources  that  do  not trap  and radiate heat.  Incorporate design elements to discourage graffiti and encourage graffiti-resistant wall treatment”

 

The TAB opinion is the fence would present a fortress like appearance that does not belong in the RNP neighborhood.  This is a consistent TAB position. The fence would not accomplish the stated purposes of security and protection from coyotes.  Experience indicates open areas have fewer security problems because the bad guys do not like the visibility.  The design presented would not deter coyotes from entering the property. The TAB is not convinced that the fence paint would not hold up in the sun.

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

ADD Public Works – Development Review condition:

·         All pole mounted lighting to be fully shielded including street lighting.

 

One point that could not be resolved is the possibility of a pipe line or other easement across the sight.  The OPENWEB maps show an item labeled as AccS Conquistador.  No one at the TAB meeting was able to explain what is AccS Conquistador. 

 

The TAB has consistently recommended the use of fully shielded lighting in residential areas.  An additional factor is the Redrock overlay is just west of this project.  The use of lighting is strictly controlled in the Redrock overlay.  There should be a transition area, for lighting, along the Redrock overlay boundary.
