to know to what extent could the Commission restrict the fence and does the City had any detailed
specifications for fences.

they can live with the fence being there. Otherwise what are you going to do with it?

complaint to the attention of the Commission since the Zoning Board of Adjustment is considering
requiring "notification of property owners" as a part of their variance process. It is not required by
State law. However, should this process be proposed by the ZBA, it would then come to the
Commission for it's recommendation to Council.
Discussion: Five Year Capital Improvement Program Projects: Mr. Burdine reminded the
Commission of then responsibility according to the Charter to provide the City Manager with a 5
year Capital Improvement Plan recommendation. He also advised they would need to act on this
itern at the scheduled June 20, 1994 meeting in order to meet the July 1, 1994 deadline.
The Commission discussed the revised list of Capital Improvement Projects that was provided by
staff (see attached) and made some adjustments according to priority.
Chairman Emil Beltz cormnented that there were no walkways or bikeways shown on the list, should
there be?

of other capital projects.
