wood or maintenance free vinyl. Mr. Fritch researched the cost of a vinyl fence and the cost <br />would be four times the cost of a chain link fence and would be susceptible to rust water stains. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that the City has had nothing but problems where chain link fences have <br />been installed with vinyl slats. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik noted that another alternative would be a vinyl coated chain link <br />fence and increase the amount of trees planted. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson questioned if they chose a dark colored vinyl fence if it would stain. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritch replied that only light colors are available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolty inquired if they could do some screening with trees and bushes rather <br />than a fence. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec questioned if there was a specific reason for the fence. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritch replied the fence was proposed for screening purposes only. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik reviewed the location of the existing house in relation to the <br />proposed building. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that in his opinion the landscaping would be better screening rather than a <br />fence. <br /> <br />Councihnember Connolly inquired if Mr. Fritch would be willing to do the additional <br />landscaping. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritch replied yes, but questioned if he could install a fence in the future if he chose to do so. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that the City cannot tell him that he cannot have a fence on <br />his property. He inquired if the property will have a holding pond for drainage. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the drainage plan, <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired to what the City code requirement is for siding. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik replied that code requires all natural or pre-fabricated stone, but in <br />this situation the aluminum siding would be more compatible with the adjacent residential <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />City Council/October 12, 1999 <br /> Page 16 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
