File: AEC16007
Legal Description: Lot 5, Block 4, Wildridge / 5774 Wildridge Road East
Applicant/Owner: Jeff Patterson
Summary: AEC to allow for a three railed fence with metal wire, and find an existing non-
approved fence acceptable.
Public Comments: None
Action: Commissioner Bonidy made a motion x the AEC application citing the following
findings:
Findings:
(1) The application was reviewed pursuant to AMC 7.16.120, Alternative Equivalent
Compliance;
(2) The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the fence design standard to the same
or better degree than the subject standard;
(3) The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive
Plan to the same or better degree than the subject standard;
(4) The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than
would occur through compliance with the specific requirements of the AMC; and
(5) The approved size and location of the fence on the top of Wildridge and on the uphill
side does not result in diminished views from the AEC proposal of metal wiring and a
third rail.
(6) The proposed location of the fence complements the installed landscaping and does not
delineate property boundaries.
Commissioner Hardy seconded the motion and the motion passed 6-1, with
Commissioner Barnes voting in opposition.
