Brad,
I went out a looked at the pathway and I have an issue with a six foot solid fence on either side. Since NMID won't allow a
fence on the east side of the pathway, then there isn't much choice but to place it on the west side of the pathway.
However, I believe from a public safety view, that it should be open visibility because the most "natural surveillance"
opportunities will come from the parking lots and businesses of the complex.
\
I also looked at the possiblity of lights from cars in the commercial complex shining into the yards and back windows of
the houses in Running Brook Estates, and it appears that there would be very little if any intrusion. The complex looks to
be about 4' lower than the houses. If a low visibilty fence must be constructed, I would prefer a four foot fence with the
top two feet open visibility,
I hope this helps.
Bob

Bill and Bob,
Michener Investments has an application on the City Council agenda next Tuesday, 11/15, to modify Southern Springs
No.2 final plat. Currently, they are required to construct a 6-foot vinyl fence on the inside edge (east) ofthe Ten Mile
Creek public pathway. This woukt allow visibiUty to the pathway from within the commercial project. They are now
proposing to put the fence on the outside edge (west) of the pathway. This would not allow visibility from within the project
but would allow visibility from Running Brook Estates homes on the east side of the creek. In either location, visibility is
pretty good from Overland, looking south down the pathway. NMID is prohibiting the fence on the east side ofthe
pathway -
Would one of you and/or an officer be able to take a look at the pathway ørs already installed) and comment on this
issue? I believe the hearing will come down to a question of public safety on the pathway and whether or not a solid fence

on one side or the other will present a greater hinderance to surveillance. I understand from David Koga, representing
Michener, that one of your officers, Geoff Rowe, attended the neighborhood meeting and said he thought public safety
would be more compromised with the fence on the east side than the west side of the pathway. I would appreciate your
thoughts.
