A visio� triangle must be created on site in order to provide a safe sight distence for pedestrian and vehiGe operators. In order to accomplish this, a portion of the existing fence must be relocated. This vision triangle must be created by removing a 15-foot section of fence along both the driveway and the street frontage. The fence can then be connected together by instelling a fence on the diagonal that would connect the two points at which the fenoe was removed. (exhibRs 1 & 3) 4. The fence had been orected for eight years and during that Hme no complaints had been filed with the City with regarci to the height of the fence. Only after the Appellant moved into the home at the subject property was a complaint filed. (Heard tesh,'mo��y, Ervine testimony) 5. The subject property is located on SunQ,et Lane on the s�::!!�west side af the intersection of Sunset Lane and 5f�th Street S.W. Immedietely north of the propeRy is the View Ridge Elementary School. (exhibit 2, Hearl testimony) 6. The City, upon review of the complaint, determined that the fence could remain as constructed but that a vision triengle would be required at the southeast comer of the fence. The vision triangle would necessitate the removal of a portion of the existing fenoe and the creation of a t�iangle that would be approximately 110 square feet in area. The purpose of the vision triangle, as testified to by the City, was to ensure that treffic along Sunset Lane is able to see any cars leaving the driveway of the subject property. (Ervine testimony, Brooks testimony) Since the fence has been erected, there have been no recorded accidents of any vehicles leaving the subject property. (Brooks testimony) 8. The Appellant submitted photographs depicting traffic conditions on Sunset Lane. With the limited amount of tra(fic on Sunset Lane, there appears to be no immediate threat from vehicles leaving the subject property. Any traffic view obstructions that are created by parked vehiGes are from vehicles of parents and others picking up children at View Ridge Elementary School. (Heard testimony) 3
