Planning Commission Minutes — April 27, 2004 within the 2nd addition of Victor Gardens. The Planning Commission opened the public hearing on April 8, 2004, took comments, and recessed the public hearing to allow staff time to properly notice it. Commissioner Hoftbeck had concerns about liability, maintenance, and safety issues related to the proposed swimming pool and questioned the fencing and the possibility of the fire pit being an attractive nuisance. Hoffbeck said she would like to see the facility put into the public/commercial venue, and questioned how they would keep the public out. Shelley Tompkins, representing the developer, told the Commission that there would be a fence around the pool with a locked gate for maintenance.
