The Hearings <br />Official stated he had no conflicts of interests and had no ex parte communications to disclose. <br />No person objected to the Hearings Official conducting the hearing. <br />Planner Erik Berg-Johansen provided an overview of the staff report and explained the nature of <br />the proposal. Staff recommended approval of the application with conditions. <br />The applicant gave a brief history of the property and the proposed changes in use. He agreed <br />with the findings of the staff report and the conditions of approval with one exception. That <br />exception was to the staff recommendation for an 8' fence to replace the existing fence separating <br />the parking lot from adjacent properties. In support of this position, the applicant made three <br />arguments: <br />The EC does not provide authority to condition approval on the installation of a 8' fence. <br />The applicant argues that EC 9.6205 L-7 contains all the potential requirements for <br />landscaping and there is no provision in that section for fences in the manner staff <br />proposes. <br />Hearings Official Decision (CU 16-1; SR 16-2) <br />227
