SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On November 5, 2020, the Board considered an appeal form the property owners (Michael Smith and Rosana Rader) of the Zoning Administrator’s decision to approve a fence at their property in Spreckels subject to modifications to the fence. At the November 5, 2020 hearing, the Board of Supervisors continued the hearing on the matter to November 17, 2020, directing staff to explore how the County might reimburse the property owner for costs associated with building and/or rebuilding their fence. Information was not received in time to complete a staff report for the November 17th meeting, so the matter was continued to January 12, 2021. Due to unforeseen circumstances, information was still not available for the January 12, 2021 hearing and the matter was continued to February 2, and March 2, 2021. Once again, due to unforeseen circumstances and scheduling conflicts, staff and the applicants/appellants are requesting that this matter be continued. Staff recommends that the Board continue this item to March 16, 2021.
