APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Michael Amke, has applied for fmal plat modification approval to modify the approved
fencing in Amke Subdivision. The approved fencing shown on the landscape plan for Arnke Subdivision
is six-foot solid vinyl. The applicant is requesting approval to allow the existing chain link fencing with
privacy slats along the east and north boundaries to remain and is proposing to plant vegetation along the
east and north boundaries to add aesthetic appeal to the area. Also, the applicant is requesting the access
to the east, located between Arnke Subdivision and the LDS seminary, be allowed a chain link fence gate
in lieu of pipe bollards. The fencing along the west and south boundaries will be constructed of six~foot
vinyl material.
Arnke Subdivision is located at 2070 W. Pine avenue in the NE ~ of T. 3N., R. I W., Section 11. The
site has already been platted.
STAFF ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATION
As stated above, the chain link fencing abutting Arnke Subdivision on the east and north boundaries are
already constructed. The fencing to the east boundary has been constructed by the LDS seminary and the
fencing on the north boundary has been constructed by the school district. The applicant has been in
contact with the LDS seminary and the school district and they do not wish to have their fences replaced.
Joe Silva with the Meridian Fire Department has approved the applicant's request to use a chain link
fence gate in lieu of pipe bollar&" if the following conditions are met: 1.) The emergency access road is
to be 20' wide and capable of supporting 75,000lbs; 2.) The emergency access road is approved to have a
20' (2 x 10' sections) wide cyclone fence gate equipped with a Knoxbox padlock ordered thru the
Meridian Fire Department.
The Unified Development Code (UDC) does not have a requirement for permanent perimeter fencing..
Therefore, staff supports the change in materials to chain link fencing with privacy slats and vegetation
along the east and north boundaries, and the change for the chain link fence gate in lieu of pipe bollards.
Staff recommends aooroval to modify the aODroved fencing for Arnke Subdivision (MFP-06-004). as
orooosed by the aODlicant.
