no L-. Tom Harrington, applicant, referred to the letters he had written explaining why he believed he should be reimbursed $3,297.89 for lot line adjustment costs. He noted that he had been required to go through the process twice - the first time it cost him $3,297.89 and the seond time approximately $10,000. He further explained that he had been required to do this twice because of a change in staff. He stated that the former Director of Public Works had told him to proceed one way and Jeff Peterson had directed him to proceed in another. Mr. Harrington stated that he believed Council should be responsible for the Town staff and the directions they gave to applicants. Council discussed this request and noted that a requirement of Mr. Harrington's lot line adjustment was a filing of the parcel map. They further noted that Mr. Harrington had been advised of this condition in writing even if there had been some confusion in conversations with staff. The staff report to Council had indicated that Mr. Harrington had been told that he could petition the Council to modify this condition but he did not make this request. Mr. Harrington had also proceeded to work on the project (pool house in setback) after being advised by the staff to stop pending resolution of the lot line issue. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Johnson and passed unanimously to deny the request for reimbursement of fees and costs associated with the lot line adjustment on Lands of Harrington, 12100 Hilltop Drive. 5.2 Request for Council action regarding neighbors' fence issue -- Joan Moeller, 11990 Page Mill Road Joan Moeller, applicant, addressed the Council concerning a project done on her neighbors' property involving a riding ring/fence. She believed this riding arena was a structure and should be thirty feet from the property line. Mrs. Moeller gave an overview of her correspondence with the Town on this issue noting that she did not believe the arena project had been properly supervised by the Town and further commenting that her neighbor, Mr. Markoff, had torn down her boundary fence as part of his project. Mrs. Moeller asked that her fence be rebuilt, the neighbors' fence be removed and the arena which was ten feet from the property line be moved further back. Council discussed Mrs. Moeller's request and the staff report prepared by the Town Planner on the issues raised by Mrs. Moeller. Dauber noted that the Markoffs had a legally approved structure and she did not believe it was in the Town's jurisdiction to make him change this project. Dauber further noted that she believed this was a civil suit among neighbors. Hubbard and Siegel agreed with her comments. June 2, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting
