as applied to several places where the
Applicant desires to construct a fence.

E 7. Mr. Pancheri stated that he wishes to construct a
(Applicant) security fence at locations around
his Apache Junction Mobile Home Park
where none exist. This would be
mainly for security purposes. However,
because of the cost and the fact that
the rest of the fence is chain link,
he desires to continue with chain link
only. He noted that the construction
of the addition had begun under a
Pinal County permit. It did not
specifically mention a fence or fencing
requirements.
8. Board Members discussed the matter of the language
of the Zoning Ordinance requirement
with regard to whether the word "solid"
also meant that the fence must be
solid. It was pointed out that the
word "screened" was used earlier in
the sentence. (See Zoning Ordinance,
Section 2001 (e) (11))
9. Nesser/Nunn M/S "BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
Adjustment of the City of Apache Junction,
Arizona, that the variance requested
in case BA-7-80, application of Gerald

this is a continuation of a project
long in progress, the construction of
which was previous to City jurisdiction
approved by Pinal County Planning Depart-
ment, and that the request would be in
compliance with previously approved
standards, that the requested variance
be and hereby is approved.
Further, the Board of Adjustment in-
