Mounds View Planning Commission September 4, 2019 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson supported the applicant not installing a fence through the trees. However, he <br />was uncertain where the fence should be located. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn asked how many trees would be lost. Community Development Director <br />Sevald reported he did not have a count, but stated from the photos he has seen, the tree loss <br />would be extensive. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson commented it would be a maintenance nightmare to locate a cedar fence <br />under a large grove of trees. He recommended that only one type of fence be installed. <br /> <br />Chris Stokka, MWF Properties, introduced himself to the Commission. He explained he talked <br />to the contractor about the fence to see what all of the options were. He was informed that a <br />cedar fence would be the best option. He indicated he would be responsible for maintaining the <br />fence. He commented his main concern at this time was to maintain as many trees as possible. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn questioned if there would be a fence located around the kids play area. Mr. <br />Stokka commented further on the location of the proposed fence. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated after reviewing the pictures, he could support a change to the fencing <br />location. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson commented he liked the idea of a fence, but suggested a maintenance free <br />fence be considered. Community Development Director Sevald reported the original direction <br />given by the City was for a six-foot cedar fence. He explained the fence building material would <br />be determined to the developer. <br /> <br />Mr. Stokka explained he could not promise Trex fencing material, but would take this into <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander encouraged the developer to ensure that the property line is clearly <br />identified, to ensure there would not be confusion. Mr. Stokka stated this would be done and <br />explained the fence would assist the tenants from trespassing onto the neighbor’s property. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Commission was to support the fence being located on the west edge in order <br />to preserve the trees. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
