77-2S to allow a 12-foot high chain link fence for a recrea-
tional court in the rear yard of the residence at 2S30 West

Senior Planner William Daugherty stated that the minor excep-
tion would allow a fence to remain that is in excess of the six
foot height permitted in a rear yard setback; that the fence
is in conjunction with a basketball court; that there are two
lights for evening activities; that the application was filed
due to a complaint which had been received by a property owner
south and west of the subject property at 2530 Central Avenue;
that the General Plan indicates low density residential for the
area; and that the application was denied by the Zoning Admin-
istrator on September 9, 1977.
The applicant, John Devers, stated that he had not completed
the planned landscaping which would improve his yard a great
deal; that the fence was constructed to prevent the balls from
going into other yards; that three neighbors had given their
verbal approval; and that he had not applied for a minor ex-
ception because he had expected the contractor to take care
of that matter for him.
