Mr. Leiva <br />produced pictures showing many similar fences in the neighborhood. <br />Mr. Talbot, Roosevelt, Redwood City expressed his dislike of the fence <br />for aesthetic reasons. <br />Tony Powers, 1717 Jefferson, Redwood City described the fence as creating a <br />threat to children walking by due to impaired visibility of drivers exiting <br />or entering driveway next to fence. <br />In response to questions from Council Tom Passanisi described Mr. Leiva's <br />options of reducing the fence to required 3' , changing latticework to "open <br />construction" resulting in 5' fence (3' solid base and 2' open) or moving the <br />fence back 15' and maintaining its height. <br />M /S: Bury /Murray to close the public hearing. <br />Carried by unanimous voice vote and public hearing closed at 7:50 p.m. <br />M/ S: Murray /LaBerge to deny appeal of denial by Zoning Administrator for <br />existing 6 foot high fence, 635 Hudson Street, Redwood City and accept <br />findings. <br />Findings are as follows: <br />1.
