3667
Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - February 20, 1990
variance for a retaining wall and wood fence with a combined height of 11 feet
where six feet is the maximum height permitted; located at the western terminus
of Cicero Way.
Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. The applicants
are proposing a 2D foot encroachment above the 550 contour to allow sufficient
area for project grading and the relocation of the open space dedication to the
570 contour line. The fence height variance is for a retaining wall and fence
to be constructed between the new subdivision and an existing single family
home on the south side of Cicero Way and east of Cicero Court because of a
six-foot grade difference between the proposed project and the existing home.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Lou Jirak, 13260 Vista View Court, the owner of the subject single-family
home. He stated that they had lived in that home for 25 years and
planted several pine trees, some of which were on the Reeder property.
Those trees have been removed and there is just one left which is close
to the property line and in danger of being killed by wall construc-
tion.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Don Ayles, ERB Engineering, 14005 Midland Road, engineer for the project.
Following discussion, Council concurred that the applicant should work with the
staff and if necessary to save the tree, the wall could be moved into the public
right-of-way.
Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Goldsmith, to close the
public hearing, issue a Negative Declaration and adopt Planning Resolution No.

members Brannon and Emery absent.
