PROJECT: Stormwater Drainage Improvements for Forest STATUS REPORT #28


Cove Area Watershed

NEW INFORMATION NOTED IN RED

GOAL: Reduce intermittent flooding problems due to intense rainfall events.

OBJECTIVE: Improve stormwater drainage in Forest Cove, Sunset Meadows, West


Pointe, Springhill Acres, Springhill Manor, Sherwood Estates, and
Northridge Subdivisions by identifying specific items which can be
implemented without causing additional harm to upstream or downstream
residents at any point in the watershed. Possible changes include raising
detention pond levees to increase storage volume, acquiring land to
increase pond sizes or create new detention ponds, increase stream width
of creek through Sunset Meadows, install new drains behind houses to get
stormwater underground before running overland into streets. Project
scope is expanded to include full length of Shoal Creek to Hurricane Creek.

MILESTONES:
1. FTN Associates, Ltd. completed the hydraulic analysis and prepared an
Executive Summary in July, 2007 for Forest Cove Area Watershed.

2. The council approved the purchase of all box culverts recommended by


FTN for Forest Cove Area Watershed in a special meeting April 16,
2008. Purchase orders were issued April 17, 2008.

STATUS:
1. Mid-State Construction (Darrell Hall) is 100% complete with the
contract for Hidden Creek Drive. Fencing and safety railing are
100% complete.

2. Design for Westpointe Phase III (Independence Drive) drainage


improvements is 100% complete. Council approval is requested to
proceed with advertising for bid; engineer’s estimate for construction
and materials is $340,000.00.

3. AHTD reviewed the city’s request for detouring traffic during


construction of the temporary bypass road for the Hwy. 5 bridge
replacement project. AHTD determined that Maintenance of Traffic
during construction will be approved for temporary bypass road only;
the request to temporarily detour traffic while constructing the
bypass road has been denied. In an email dated June 30, 2009, Kit
Carson, AHTD Survey Division, confirmed his understanding that
AHTD has suspended review of the city’s request for a permit to
replace the Hwy. 5 bridge. The suspension is based on the city’s
request (separate letter from Mayor Mitchell to Dan Flowers) to have
the Hwy. 5 bridge replacement project placed on the 2010-2013

Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan. AHTD is considering
the project to be on the STIP. The draft STIP has not been
released.

4. “Four Crossings” advertisement was suspended. Bid


opening was scheduled for April 30, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. This projects
consists of culvert replacements for Ashley Place, Evening Shade,
Jennifer Cove, and Kensington Drive. This does not include
intermediate stream improvements which connect the street
crossings (additional surveying and engineering must be approved).
Estimated cost of contracting, construction, materials, and
engineering is $880,000.00. On April 27, 2009, council approved
$24,000.00 for cost of materials for the Street Department to begin
replacement of structure at Ashlea Place (only one barrel of three
barrels to be installed at this time). Removal of the old structure at
Ashlea Place was completed on May 4, 2009. On Tuesday, May 5,
2009, council approved an additional $201,000.00 for replacement
of structures at Forest Drive, Evening Shade Drive, Jennifer Cove,
and Kensington Drive. One barrel at Ashlea Place was installed
June 3, 2009 and the street reopened on June 5, 2009. Two barrels
at Forest Drive were installed the week of June 22-26, 2009. One
barrel at Evening Shade was installed the week of July 6-10, 2009.
Installation of the culverts at Jennifer Cove and Kensington Drive
are pending the completion of Woodland Park Drive.

Further stream improvements or completion of street crossings to


full design extents will be pending additional funding from council.

5. Augusta Cove drainage improvements low bid was $63,581.11, from


Redstone Construction. Bid expired May 16, 2009. A concrete
barrier was set at the curb line where the new temporary ditch
crosses the street because of safety issues. The temporary culvert
needs to be replaced with concrete pipe in order to stabilize the
road. Estimated cost of concrete pipe (sized to the final design
requirements) and street materials is $15,000.00.

6. Rodeo Drive Short-term Improvements are organized into three


phases. Phase 1 is complete, which addressed the stream
benching activity on the Wisdom/Johnson/Ferguson properties and
cleaning out the creek upstream of the Boswell Road box culverts.
Phase 2 is complete, which addressed about 100-ft of stream
benching from Wisdom’s to Smith to Dobbins. Phase 3 will address
the stream areas on Dobbin’s property behind Smith and Larson to
Boswell’s property line. Council approved $5,800.00 for FTN to
develop the Phase 3 design, including coordination with Mr. Lex
Dobbins. The long-term 50-year stormwater conveyance design
that includes a 100-ft +/- wide drainage easement on Dobbin’s
property requires environmental assessments, Corps of Engineers
approval, etc. which are being investigated. FTN surveyed the
completed portions of stream work during the week of May 25,
2009. Computer modeling was performed this week. Computer
modeling and design for Phase 3 are ongoing.

information sources used by the financial institution or creditor. For
example:

• The address does not match any address in the consumer report; or
• The Social Security Number (SSN) has not been issued, or is listed
on the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File.

ii. Personal identifying information provided by the customer is not


consistent with other personal identifying information provided by the
customer, such as a lack of correlation between the SSN range and date of

iii. Personal identifying information or a phone number or address, is


associated with known fraudulent applications or activities as indicated by
internal or third-party sources used by the creditor.

Page 5 of 10
iv. Other information provided, such as fictitious mailing address, mail drop
addresses, jail addresses, invalid phone numbers, pager numbers or
answering services, is associated with fraudulent activity.

v. The SSN number is the same as that submitted by other applicants or


customers.

vi. The address or telephone number provided is the same as or similar to the
account number or telephone number submitted by an unusually large
number of applicants or customers.

vii. The applicant or customer fails to provide all required personal identifying
information on an application or in response to notification that the

suspicious activity include:

i. Shortly following the notice of a change of address for an account, the city
receives a request for the addition of authorized users on the account.

ii. A new revolving credit account is used in a manner commonly associated


with known patterns of fraud activity. For example, the customer fails to
make the first payment or makes an initial payment but no subsequent
payments.

iii. An account is used in a manner that is not consistent with established


patterns of activity on the account. For example, nonpayment when there
is no history of late or missed payments or a material change in purchasing
or spending patterns.

iv. An account that has been inactive for a long period of time is used, taking
into consideration the type of account, the expected pattern of usage, and
other relevant factors.

v. Mail sent to the customer is returned repeatedly as undeliverable although


transactions continue to be conducted in connection with the customer’s
account.

Page 6 of 10
vi. The City is notified that the customer is not receiving paper account
statements.

vii. The City is notified of unauthorized charges or transactions in connection


with a customer’s account.

regarding possible identity theft or phishing related to covered accounts.

Section 9. Prevention and Mitigation of Identity Theft

(a) In the event that any City employee responsible for or involved in restoring an
existing covered account or accepting payment for a covered account becomes aware of red flags
indicating possible identity theft with respect to existing covered accounts, such employee shall
use his or her discretion to determine whether such red flag or combination of red flags suggests
a threat of identity theft. If, in his or her discretion, such employee determines that identity theft
or attempted identity theft is likely or probable, such employee shall immediately report such red
flags to the Finance Director. If, in his or her discretion, such employee deems that identity theft
is unlikely or that reliable information is available to reconcile red flags, the employee shall
convey this information to the Finance Director, who may in his or her discretion determine that
no further action is necessary. If the Finance Director in his or her discretion determines that
further action is necessary, a City employee shall perform one or more of the following
responses, as determined to be appropriate by the Finance Director:

i. Contact the customer;

ii. Make the following changes to the account if, after contacting the
customer, it is apparent that someone other than the customer has accessed
the customer’s covered account;

iii. Cease attempts to collect additional charges from the customer and decline
to sell the customer’s account to a debt collector in the event that the
customer’s account has been accessed without authorization and such
access has caused additional charges to accrue;

iv. Notify a debt collector within seven (7) days of the discovery of likely or
probable identity theft relating to a customer account that has been sold to
such a debt collector in the event that a customer’s account has been sold
to a debt collector prior to the discovery of the likelihood or probability of
identity theft relating to such account;

Page 7 of 10
v. Notify law enforcement, in the event that someone other than the customer
has accessed the customer’s account causing additional charges to accrue
or accessing personal identifying information; or

vi. Take other appropriate action to prevent or mitigate identity theft.

(b) In the event that any City employee responsible for or involved in opening a new
covered account becomes aware of red flags indicating possible identity theft with respect to an
application for a new account, such employee shall use his or her discretion to determine whether
such red flag or combination of red flags suggests a threat of identity theft. If, in his or her
discretion, such employee determines that identity theft or attempted identity theft is likely or
probable, such employee shall immediately report such red flags to the Finance Director. If, in
his or her discretion, such employee deems that identity theft is unlikely or that reliable
information is available to reconcile red flags, such employee shall convey this information to
the Finance Director, who may in his or her discretion determine that no further action is
necessary. If the Finance Director, in his or her discretion, determines that further action is
necessary, a City employee shall perform one or more of the following responses, as determined
to be appropriate by the Finance Director:

i. Request additional identifying information from the applicant;

ii. Deny the application for the new account;

iii. Notify law enforcement of possible identity theft; or

iv. Take other appropriate action to prevent or mitigate identity theft.

Section 10. Updating the Program

The City Council shall annually review and, as deemed necessary by the Council, update
the Identity Theft Prevention Program along with any relevant red flags in order to reflect
changes in risks to customers or to the safety and soundness of the City and its covered accounts
from identity theft. In so doing, the City Council shall consider the following factors and
exercise its discretion in amending the program:

(a) The City’s experiences with identity theft;

(b) Updates in methods of identity theft;

(c) Updates in customary methods used to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft;

Section 11. Program Administration

The Finance Director is responsible for oversight of the Program and for Program
implementation. The Finance Director is responsible for reviewing reports prepared by staff
regarding compliance with red flag requirements and with recommending material changes to the
program, as necessary in the opinion of the Finance Director, to address changing identity theft
risks and to identify new or discontinued types of covered accounts. Any recommended material
changes to the program shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration by the Council.

(a) The Finance Director will report to the City Council at least annually, on
compliance with the red flag requirements. The report will address material matters related to
the program and evaluate issues such as:

i. The effectiveness of the policies and procedures of the City in addressing


the risk of identity theft in connection with the opening of covered
accounts and with respect to existing covered accounts;

ii. Service provider arrangements; and

iii. Significant incidents involving identity theft and management’s response.

(b) The Finance Director is responsible for providing training to all employees
responsible for or involved in opening a new covered account, restoring an existing covered
account, or accepting payment for a covered account with respect to the implementation and
requirements of the Identity Theft Prevention Program. The Finance Director shall exercise his
or her discretion in determining the amount and substance of training necessary.

Section 12. Outside Service Providers

In the event that the City engages a service provider to perform an activity in connection
with one or more covered accounts, the Finance Director shall exercise his or her discretion in
reviewing such arrangements in order to ensure, to the best of his or her ability, that the service
provider’s activities are conducted in accordance with policies and procedures, agreed upon by
contract, that are designed to detect any red flags that may arise in the performance of the service
provider’s activities and take appropriate steps to prevent or mitigate identity theft.

Section 13. General Repealer

All ordinances, resolutions, and parts thereof in conflict with this ordinance are hereby
repealed to the extent of such conflict.

Section 14. Severability

Should any section, clause, or phrase of this ordinance be declared by the courts to be

Chairman Penfield opened the Commission meeting and asked for a Motion to approve the
Minutes from the May 11, 2009 Planning Commission Meeting.

Commissioner Brunt asked that the statement on Page 2 of the Minutes in the first
paragraph under Public Hearing for 5013 Springhill Road rezoning be changed to reflect
that he was the realtor for the property instead of stating he was involved in business
with the property owner.

Commissioner Foster motioned to approve the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes


from May 11, 2009 with the requested correction; motion was seconded by
Commissioner Long. Motion passed 6-0. (Commissioner McCorkel not present for the
vote on this item.)

Chairman Penfield stated he wants to thank the City and the Commission for the cards,
calls, flowers and gifts for the passing of his mother, which happened at the time of the
last Commission meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING:

1. BILLY SMITH – CUSTOM OUTDOOR ADVERTISING, INC. – 23478 I-30 – Requesting


to rezone property located at 23478 I-30 to C-2 (Highway Commercial). Current

Vice Chairman Long abstained from this item due to his involvement in working
on their plans for the addition to the building.

Eric Krebs was present to represent Mr. Smith for this request to rezone this
property.
Krebs stated Mr. Smith has owned this property for approximately 10 years and
it is currently zoned residential and since a business has operated from the
location for several years, he wants to rezone the property to commercial to
allow him to construct an addition to the business.

Commissioner Foster asked if Mr. Smith is going to add on to the existing


building or construct a new building on the site.

Krebs stated the current building is an old house with a big garage-type shop in
the back and he wants to build a 30’ x 24’ addition on the west side. He also
stated it will meet the setback requirements.

Commissioner Foster wanted to know if the new building will match the existing
one.

Krebs stated it will match.

Chairman Penfield asked if there were any other questions from the
Commissioners and there were none.

Penfield then asked if anyone from the public wished to speak or had any
questions and seeing none, asked for a roll call vote.

A roll call vote was taken to approve a request to rezone property at 23478 I-
30 from R-E to C-2. Vote passed 5-0 (Long abstained).

OLD BUSINESS:

2. COMPREHENSIVE GROWTH PLAN – Recommend approval to City Council.

Chairman Penfield reiterated that the only action the Commission is taking on
the Comprehensive Growth Plan tonight is a vote on whether or not to
recommend approval to City Council.

A roll call vote was taken to recommend approval of the Comprehensive


Growth Plan to City Council. Vote passed 6-0.

Jim von Tungeln stated that since this is a Resolution instead of an Ordinance,
there will only be one reading by the City Council.

on tonight’s Agenda; motion seconded by Commissioner Roedel. Motion passed
unanimously.

* WILLIAM CANINO – BRISTOL PLACE APARTMENTS – Request to revise Site Plan for the
Bristol Place Apartments located off Bristol Drive. Current zoning is C-2 with Conditional
Use Permit.

Chairman Penfield asked Mr. Canino to explain what they are requesting.

Mr. Canino stated they are not trying to change anything and also stated that Ms. Jones
had clearly explained the legal position of the Commission. He stated he understands
there have been several citizens in the community that have called to complain about this
development.

Canino explained that they had found that their property line, as per their surveyor, lies
about eight feet east of the existing chain link fence. He stated they didn’t anticipate
that anything other than another survey would be done and the situation would be
resolved. He stated they talked to the property owners and they were not pleased
because as far as they were concerned surveyors had established their property line many
years ago.

Canino stated they went back to their surveyor and asked what they were going to do. He
stated if the apartment owners put their fence where the existing chain link fence is,
that means they accept the homeowners’ property line. He stated they did not want to
do that for two reasons. He stated if he told the contractor to install the fence where
the chain link fence is, which accepts the neighbor’s idea of where the property line is,
he could invalidate the title insurance program and the title company would resolve it
legally. He stated they would then come to him and state that he owes them for the
problem area.

Canino stated he is in a quandry because if he goes along with the site plan that they had
submitted to the Commission and put the fence where it was approved, he feels he may
get shot by those property owners on the east side and a gentleman on the west side is
not happy with the development either.

He stated Ms. Jones had clearly shown them that the Commission doesn’t have the ability
City of Bryant
Planning Commission Minutes
June 8, 2009
Page 4

to say one way or the other about this because it is a civil matter. He stated he hoped
since this is a Conditional Use, that they would be able to adjust it. He feels that his
hands are tied about where he can put the fence until a determination is made about the
location of the property line.

Canino stated this is not your typical commercial development. He stated this is one of
the few uses of tax payers money that he believes is a good idea. He states that even
though he is the architect on this project, he feels anytime money can be used to assist
the elderly, he thinks it is a good idea.

Canino stated additionally that he does not believe this type development does not make
the neighborhood that it is in any less of a good neighborhood. He states these type
developments and the residents are usually very good to have as neighbors.

Canino stated they had been told a Certificate of Occupancy would not be issued until
this matter is resolved. He stated if they can not get a Certificate of Occupancy, they can
not open to let people move into the apartments.

He stated besides possibly having to change the title insurance coverage if they put the
fence on the existing fence line, they also have the underlying agreement with HUD that
states they will fund this project for thirty years. He stated they have started the
process to go back through the HUD legal office and will call the title insurance company
to try to get an opinion from them, but in the mean time, their time is running. He
stated they are willing to post some sort of bond to make sure that whatever the City
wants gets done.

Canino states they would be willing to wait a few months to look at this from a
Conditional Use standpoint that is residential to residential for two reasons. He stated
they can spend this money now on a fence and that money is not saved. Canino stated it
goes into the pocket of maintenance of the development and over a period of time, they
can draw on that money to make sure that the neighborhood stays in good shape. He
stated if they spend that money for a fence, they have two things that are going on. One
is that they have a fence that is deteriorating that they must maintain and they have less
money in the reserves in order to maintain it.

Canino stated he is not exactly sure what he is asking the Planning Commission for, but he
is open to questions. He reiterated that he is well aware that the neighbors are not happy
with this, but he is in a quandary about what to do.

Chairman Penfield stated there are two things he has questions about. Penfield asked if
they got a survey when they purchased the property.

Canino stated they did get a survey.

Penfield stated that based on the 2006 presentation of that survey, there were
encroachments and overlaps at that time, and he interjected that his experience with
title insurance, which is pretty extensive, is that they are going to exclude title insurance
coverage of that encroached area from their policy.

Chairman Penfield asked if the property has been deeded and that the encroachment area
more than likely was excluded from the policy at that time.

Penfield stated it has been his experience as a realtor that when developers have come
into an area and there are fences and if that fence has been there that long, he is
fighting an uphill battle.

Canino stated the fence was to be placed on their property line, but the property line,
from their side, is about eight feet into the neighbor’s yards and they don’t want to do
that. He stated the fence would be twelve inches off of their property line according to
the survey.

Richard Penn, Director of Community Development and Public Works, asked what the
problem would be with changing twelve inch typical to five feet typical?

Canino stated it is a recognition of the property line.

Penn asked why.

Penfield stated he argues that case because if that is the case, their fence has been there
for a long time and that is the property line. He stated that is going to be a court battle
which could go on for a long time.

Penfield also stated that according to the site plan, there are two buildings that are
encroaching that have probably been there longer than seven years.

Canino stated Ms. Jones checked and they have been there since the 1970’s. He also
stated he is not trying to practice law.

Chairman Penfield stated he is not practicing law, but is talking from experience. He also
stated the Planning Commission is not a court of law, but the main issue is that they are
still going to have to build a fence and it is just a five foot difference and they are going
to alienate everyone around them. He asked Mr. Canino if there is enough value in that
small strip of property to alienate the adjacent property owners.

Canino stated there is not much value in that strip of property, but for him to give them
the order to do that, he takes on the responsibility of a loss of property and either
through the title or through the HUD funding for the next thirty years, they have got a
description of what they purchased. He stated he does not know what he is taking on, so

he can’t give the contractor the order to put the fence there.

Chairman Penfield stated Mr. Canino took it that way, but he (Penfield) would be willing
to bet that if they had a survey when they closed on the property, that strip is excluded
from the title insurance. Penfield stated they would not have covered it with that fence
there.

Canino stated all of this just occurred last week and they are currently working with the
title insurance company and the representatives from HUD.

Chairman Penfield reiterated that usually title insurance will not cover an encroachment.

Canino stated they just have issues with being able to provide what the Commission
wants.

Chairmen Penfield stated the Planning Commission does not have the authority to waive
the fencing requirement written in the zoning regulations..

Richard Penn stated that is correct and if there is zoning issue, the City Council has to
change it.

Penfield stated that is a three to four month process, at best. He stated there are several
routes such as amending the zoning regulations or the screening requirements, which
would require a public hearing, for which you have to give public notification, forward it
to the City Council and there will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd readings, etc.

Penfield stated there is nothing the Commission can do legally. He also stated he has not
dealt with HUD in a situation similar to this.

Penfield stated those encroachments were there when this was first presented and that
the government should understand because this surely is not the first project where there
were overlaps.

Canino stated this is the first project where they have encountered such negative
neighbors and he states he wishes he could apologize to them, but he believes they are
giving them a better use of the property.

Penfield suggested he should try to make the property owners as happy as possible by
putting the fence where the existing fence is.

Canino stated if he could do that without assuming the responsibility of loss of funding or
taking on the responsibility of the value of that piece of property, he would be pleased.

Commissioner Roedel stated he means no disrespect but in the information given to the
City of Bryant
Planning Commission Minutes
June 8, 2009
Page 7

Commissioners, it stated there was a hand-shake agreement between property owners


and the developers.

Canino stated he now understands that is incorrect. He stated they intended to write a
letter back at the first of the year to tell them about this situation and that they were
willing to do a quit claim deed to that property and give them the property that is
disputed, but that letter was never written. He stated he told Ms. Jones that it was
written and it was filed. The intent was to write the letter, give it to the neighbors and
let them know our position and then to file it with the clerk, so that should that property
become for sale, then a survey could be made and they could ascertain where the real
property line is.

Commissioner Roedel asked when they found out about the discrepancy in the property
line.

Canino stated they had known about that from day one, but they didn’t realize the
neighbor’s did not have a survey and did not want one to come to an answer.

Commissioner Roedel asked Mr. Canino if they bought property not knowing where the
property lines were.

Mr. Canino stated they did know where the property lines are supposed to be.

Canino stated they don’t want to go to court over this dispute. He stated their concern is
that they were trying to put people in residences and it looks like they are going to be
delayed for a month or more now.

Penfield reiterated that Mr. Canino mentioned the loss of property and stated they are
talking about approximately 3,700 square feet of property backing up to house and he
does not think they have a value problem either.

Canino stated even if it is one dollar it’s a loss. He stated the government works in funny
ways. He stated he could put something out there that would undermine their support of
this for the next thirty years and they could, but probably won’t, refuse to fund all of
this that they have agreed to because something underlying changed. He stated they
accepted the property and they accepted the survey with that known boundary dispute.
He also stated it is going to take some time to push it back uphill to get a response so he
can come to the Commission and say that they know where their property line and their
authority is and know whether they can put the fence right there or just leave it
unresolved.

Canino stated after what Ms. Jones clearly showed him, he is not sure of what he is asking
for. He stated he would not ask them to get rid of the fence, but if the neighbors would
agree that they didn’t care about the fence anymore than they cared about the resolution

Planning Commission Minutes

of the dispute, he stated they were going to take a quit claim deed and accept their
fence and give up any claim to that property.

Commissioner Foster stated if he doesn’t know what he is asking for, then why did he
come to the Commission so quickly to get on this month’s agenda. He asked why he
didn’t wait another month and figure out what he needed to ask for.

Canino stated he is asking for a delay in the requirement for the fence and a temporary
certificate of occupancy. He further explained that he realizes he can not ask the
Commission for something they can not give him, like deleting the fence. Canino asked if
they could get a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy with a delayed installation of the
fence.

Chairman Penfield stated they do not have the authority to follow through with that type
request because the Commission is not a policing authority and asked what happens if
they don’t build the fence in three months.

Canino stated they would have a bond posted and make sure it comes to resolution. He
also stated he is asking to delay putting up the fence and he does not need to come back
before the Planning Commission, but he would like to help get those people into their
apartments. Canino stated the Commission could help the members of the community
who need to move into those apartments.

Canino stated it isn’t a questions of putting the fence up, his concern is where to put it.
He stated he can’t issue an order or take the responsibility of moving a property line.

Canino stated he thinks it is a waste of funds that could be used to maintain it and that is
a personal opinion. He also stated when it was requested to be eliminated by the people
involved in the project, he did not have any issue with it.

Penfield stated he is confused because he thought they were there to discuss whether to
put the fence on the property line, but you’re saying you think it is a waste of money to
put the fence up.

Canino reiterated that was a personal opinion of his.

Chairman Penfield stated the regulations say the fenced has to be installed.

Canino stated their only question then is if they can delay installation of the fence until
they determine where the property line is.

Penfield stated from experience that it will be a long battle for them to try to move that
property line.

Canino stated he suspects they are not going to move the property line.

Penfield stated they are going to have to put the fence up where the existing fence is and
get HUD to approve it. He also asked how long Mr. Canino thinks that process will take.

Canino stated he thinks it will take thirty days and then two weeks to install the fence.

Penfield asked Canino how much revenue would be generated for the first month to move
those residents in.

Canino stated it is not a matter of revenue, they are going to pay one third of their
income. He stated this is not a revenue generating project. He stated it is a revenue
payment by HUD.

Chairman Penfield stated he is President of Bryant House, so he understands the process


and he understands what he is up against.

Canino stated he has talked to the gentleman at HUD and he has no idea how long the
process will take. He stated they have requested information from the title company on
how they can approach this. He stated they just don’t want to delay letting folks move
in.

Commissioner Foster asked if the only thing standing in the way of them getting a
Certificate of Occupancy is a fence.

Canino stated yes.

Foster stated it sounds to him like they are holding up the people being able to move in
because if they build the fence, they will get a CO and the people can move in and the
problem is solved.

Canino asked where he is to build the fence?

Commissioner Foster stated the Planning Commission is not going to take responsibility
for moving the people in.

Foster also stated if they put the fence on other people’s property, they are going to hire
lawyers and sue them and then you won’t build a fence and people won’t move in and it
will just sit there until it is resolved.

Chairman Penfield stated the information states “line of existing fence to remain, repair
as needed.” Penfield stated it sounds like they have already conceded to the fact that
the fence is staying there and the government approved these plans.

Canino stated that is only if there is no new fence replaced.

Penfield stated if they already have it approved in that location, then that negates the
fact that Canino should have to go back to them and change that location.

Canino stated what they do is they leave the existing chain link fence there, but they
don’t try to establish a piece of property in their back yard. They would just remove the
screen fence entirely so that both parties accept the disputed property line.

Penfield stated his opinion is that they should put the fence where the other fence
currently is.

Penn stated he is concerned about the legal implication of constructing a screen. He asked
if that is the problem?

Canino stated you can put a fence anywhere but, apparently if you put it next an
established fence, it appears to be an agreement on property lines.

Penn stated there is a row of shrubs there now.

Canino stated they had added some landscaping in that area.

Penn stated if they put the screen between the curb and the shrubs, it will essentially
give the view of the shrubs to the neighbors and then the screen would be almost zero
distance behind the curb. He also stated if they put the screen on the curb, then there is
no constitutional offense or agreement with the disputed fence and he said he doesn’t
see that it would be a problem. Penn stated that way, they are not establishing a
property line.

Both Penn and Canino agreed it would not be good to put the screen on the curb.

Penfield stated this is the type issue that gets decided in court and none of them is a
judge and the only thing the Commission can do is based on Ordinance and the zoning
class they fit into. He stated the only thing the Commission can do is to recommend they
either go through the process as set forth in the memorandum, which is a 3 to 4 month
process or put the fence up. Penfield asked the Chief Building Official (Code
Enforcement) to respond to the issue.

Greg Huggs asked if there is a dispute over the north fence also.

Canino stated no, but that neighbor has clearly said that if we step one foot on his
property, he is going to shoot us.

Canino stated the fences in question are the east and west sides basically.

Commissioner McCorkel asked for the recommendation from DRC and that they vote on it.

Chairman Penfield asked Commissioner McCorkel to read the DRC recommendation stating
the DRC recommends denial and that the fence be installed before a Certificate of
Occupancy is issued.

Commissioner McCorkel made a motion which was seconded by Vice Chairman Long.
Chairman Penfield asked if there was any further discussion. He then asked for a roll
call vote.

A roll call vote was taken to approve the DRC recommendation to deny the request
from Bristol Place Apartments to allow them to obtain a Temporary Certificate of
Occupancy until the fence dispute is settled. Roll call vote passed 7-0.

Canino stated to the Commission that he is not in conflict with the orders of the
Commission, but he is in conflict with issuing an order to change the value of property.

Chairmen Penfield stated he hopes Mr. Canino understands the position the Commission is
in over this issue.

Commissioner McCorkel motioned to adjourn; seconded by Commissioner Foster.


Motion passed unanimously.
