To consider public comment on variance request by Terry Fetzer, petitioner

and Fences of the City of Anna Zoning Ordinance to allow a fence along the

materials or opacity. The property is zoned at Single Family Estate (SF -E) and
is located at 912 Wildwood Trail, Anna, Texas.

Maurice Schwanke, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief
presentation regarding the variance request. He noted that the Staff is in support of
this request since the location is part of a large lot development. The request is in
keeping with the surrounding area and would be an unnecessary intrusion into the
neighborhood if required to meet the existing ordinance. He also noted that a letter
of support from Duane Hayes, the adjacent neighbor to the north is in support of this
request.
Mr. Terry Fetzer, owner of property, briefly explained his request and answered
questions from the Commission.
