Euless Boulevard, Euless, stated a brick fence would divide his property into two and if he wanted to remove the fence he could not reuse the brick but could if he had the decorative metal fence. This fence would be behind the building and would not be directly on W. Euless Boulevard. Chairman McNeese asked for any proponents/opponents to come forward for any comments. Seeing none the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Portugal stated the masonry requirement was for appearance and not only for the business but also for the neighbors.
