3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Conditional Use Permit. Section 903.020 F. 9. of the Little Canada City Code defines a special purpose fence as follows: "Fences for special purposes and fences differing in construction, height or length may be permitted in any district in the City by issuance of a conditional use permit ". The proposed fence may be defined as a special purpose fence due to its unique construction. The fence is constructed of a wire mesh with a grid of 2 inches by 3 inches. It is 2 feet high and supported by 3/8 inch diameter rebar sections 5 feet in length. The rebar sections are placed through the wire mesh grid and driven approximately 3 feet into the ground. The rebar sections are spaced at 6 to 12 foot intervals to support the wire mesh along the contour of the ground. The rebar stakes are to be fitted with 1/2 inch copper plumbing T's to prevent accidental impalement. However, the spirit and intent of allowing a special purpose fence is to provide for permanent fences which exceed height requirements such as the fences which surround the tennis courts and soccer fields at the Roseville Middle School, or a special purpose fence may be an ornamental fence or heavy duty security fence. The proposed is a temporary fence, to be taken down before the ground freezes this fall, and would be reinstalled again in April 1995. The fence is constructed of rebar pipes, which is susceptible to rusting, with wire mesh strung through it. This type of fencing is similar to that which people use to keep animals out of their gardens. Due to the temporary nature of the fence, the City may wish to consider requiring the applicant to construct a permanent, more ornamental fence. Location. All fences must be located entirely upon the property of the of the fence owner, and a boundary line fence cannot be erected .closer than three (3) feet to an existing parallel boundary line fence. The fence is located entirely upon the subject property and meets the applicable setback. Construction and Maintenance. Section 903.020 F.4. of the City Code states: "Every fence shall be constructed in a substantial, workmanlike manner and of material reasonably suited for the purpose for which the fence is proposed to be used. Every fence shall be maintained in such condition as to not become a hazard, eyesore or public or private nuisance. All fences shall be so 2 Page 88
