Public Hearing Required For Lawyer's Head Fence

Golfers are concerned that the proposed fence at Lawyer's Head will ruin the iconic views from the area (see ODT here). Such a fence would have a significant effect on people's enjoyment of an important public area. A public hearing is should be held before a resource consent is granted. Public input may help in siting the fence where it has minimum impact on the views, from the golf course and from the turning circle. As the recent parking bungles have shown, the wisdom of the City does not exclusively reside in the Town Hall.
