issues and also having the fence in the landscape buffer would have required additional
landscaping, shrubs, street trees etc. adding to the project cost. The dog park will be expanded
from a half acre area to a three quarter acre area with this change.

enough to prevent dogs from jumping over the fence.

a 4' fence. Both 4' tall and 6' tall fences are seen in dog parks. The dog parks that Billingsley
maintain has 4' tall fences and has not generated any negative impact.
