Minutes of the Special Meeting of August 3, 2000
Quorum: Thorsen, Simacek, Langenfeld, Schnirring and Smith present; Chairman Thorsen called
the meeting to order at 6 p.m.
Marty & Robin Rice, 101 6tb Ste. E. Old Hastings District. Yard fence.
Application to install chain link fence across from and side yard of property. The address is
misleading as the from faces Vermillion and side faces Sixth Street. The purpose of the fence is
to provide a secure play area for their children. The guidelines recommend that chainlink not be
used in fi'ont yards. The commission explained that they have approved picket and wooden or
iron fences for from yards in historic districts and that those people would expect that the Rices
would have to observe the same rules. The Rices explained that they cannot afford a picket fence
at this time.
Motion by Schnirring, second by Simacek to approve a chain link fence but only behind (east of)
a north-south line across the front of the house. The front and side up to that line (west of)
should be fenced in a traditional material and design; motion carried.
Motion by Simacek, second by Smith to adjourn; motion carried.
