In order to put a masonry fence on the property line at this location would require the removal of all the trees. The owners of the commercial property would like to retain the trees while providing security for the site. This would be accomplished by the installation of a wood fence between and around trees with steel posts set in concrete. The residential property is shown as future commercial usage according to the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The Staff recommends approval of this request. 3.
