PD:Iuest for EncroacIment Permit, LAMS OF WIIKINS30N, Tract #2065 The City Manager noted that this request was for a fence and landscaping within the right-of-way of a public street. One of the reasons the applicant had given for requesting this permit was the problem of debris being tossed on the back of his property. Alex Russell, 26618 Ascension Driver addressed the Council on behalf of the applicant. He noted additional reasons why the applicant was making this reqi�t; namely, a fence would help in keeping outside lights frcm shining into his home and would also help keep his dogs on the property. CouncihTembers discussed this item and various points were made. Perkins expressed concern over rights-of-way being transferred to private property; Proft noted that the landscaping might be appropriate but that the fence resulted in less of a feeling of openness. Hillestad, on the other hand, preferred the fence in that it was less permanent and could be taken out at a future time if necessary - the landscaping should be on the applicant's property.
