Dear Mr. Jayo:
Mayor Robert E. Simison
City Council Members:
Treg Bernt Brad Hoaglun
Joe Borton Jessica Perreault
Luke Cavener Liz Strader
This letter is to confirm the Director approved your request for alternative compliance to Unified
Development Code (UDC) 11-3A-7A.7 for the fencing adjacent to Common Lot 2, Block 2,
based on the required Findings listed in UDC 11-5B-5E, as follows:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
The Director finds strict adherence to the requirements listed in UDC 11-3A. 7A. 7 is
feasible but would require removal of the existing 6 foot tall closed vision fence
constructed by the Developer adjacent to the common area on Lot 2, Block 2.
2. ides an equal or superior means for meeting the
The alternative compliance prov
requirements; alld
The Director finds the alternative means of compliance (i. e. a 6-foot tall closed vision
fence) provides an equal means fof° meeting the �equi�ement as the neighbors p�efe� a
closed vision rather than an open vision fence for privacy and much of the area is
open to the south of the common area for visibility of the area.
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
The Director finds the alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare o� impair the residential uses and cha�acte� of su��ounding p�^opeNties
as the proposed closed vision fence provides desired privacy to adjacent residential
properties while much of the area is still visible from adjacent properties.
The Applicant, Director, or a Party of Record may request City Council review of a decision of
the Director. All requests for review shall be filed in writing with the Planning Division of the
Community Development Department on or before October 23, 2020, within fifteen (15) days
after the written decision is issued, and contain the information listed in UDC 11-5A-6B.
If City Council review of the decision is not requested, the action of the Director represents a
final decisi fion on a land use application. You have the right to request a regulatory taking
analysis under Idaho Code 67-8003.
