Michels fence variance

Prefers a berm instead of a fence; asked about fence location, landscaping, hours of operation, the 'whooping' noise, and fencing materials near homes.

Concerned about noise, wildlife, and raising his family; noted he works in an industrial facility and has been pleased with Michels so far.

Stressed a berm for sound and visual abatement; later said she opposes herbicide being sprayed on the fence.

His property backs up directly to Michels; says they've been accommodating and he prefers the slatting of the current eight-foot fence.

Said Michels has been a good neighbor, but wildlife would be disturbed and she was unaware wetlands were no longer declared protected.

Noted the site has been recognized as industrial dating back to 1988.

Submitted an email, read by staff, stating she is not in favor of the request.
