At that time the house had privacy on both sides . He stated he did not see the plans for the trail . He indicated he should have asked for more from the developer on the back of the property.

Paul stated he does not see a problem with accommodating Mr. Simons . After a discussion regarding what type of fence, Rick stated a 150-175 foot fence would be needed. He stated the cost for a cyclone fence will be approximately $1, 200 . A wood fence will be approximately three times that cost . Joe suggested a wood fence along the side and a cyclone fence in the back. Chair Lindy stated the fence needs to look the same all the way around to avoid a patchwork look. Paul Montain made a motion, seconded by Joe Schmidt, that a fence is necessary and directed Rick to work with the homeowner and necessary staff to take care of this issue to the homeowners satisfaction. The motion carried unanimously. 3
