-5- Mr. Hensel said the omission of the height of the proposed fence had only been an oversight on his own part because he had intended to state that the proposed fence would be between 5 or 6 feet tall depending on what 's necessary to construct it on the crest of the church property on that side. There would also be .several . shrubs planted on the west side of the fence to define the property line, he added. Mr. McNulty indicated he recognized the budgetary -restrictions the church was facing in this project and, as long as the church takes the necessary steps to allow him to enjoy his own property, it would make no difference to him what materials were used in the curbing, especially if providing concrete would cause the church to cut. back on the quality of the buffer between their properties . Mayor Sundland said the condition imposed by the Council gave Mr. McNulty the right to complain if he had any problems with the existing tree on the parking lot property. The Mayor also indicated he perceived the church had provided a satisfactory solution to the drainage problems experienced in the past on the west parking lot. Mr. Childs said he so far had been unable to find a record of any landscaping plan between Mr. Porter and the church 30 years ago. Mayor. Sundland indicated he perceived it would be more important for the church to show Mr. McNulty the grading plan they have for the new parking 1-ot because the protection that would provide, not the type of curbing used, would make all the difference.
