Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, August 15, 2022 <br />Page 8 <br />Mr. Sofianos stated, okay. What I wanted to make sure is that basically what you are saying is <br />that a wood fence looks a lot better than a chain link fence. However, a wood fence, and the <br />neighbor brought up some good points as well, he has a neighbor right now and to the side of his <br />fence they have a 6' privacy fence. It's completely deteriorating. The stain is completely gone. <br />The poles it holds are lopsided. A chain link fence seems to stay over the course of time. For <br />appeasement to your eyes so to speak, that's all a matter of opinion at that particular point. <br />Ms. Calta replied, which is why I explained that this isn't about what we like or what we don't <br />like.

This has been <br />drafted in that fashion. This is in the affirmative but it is written as an affirmative to grant the <br />appeal which means that it's going to be a reversal of the BZA decision. It will require five <br />votes. <br />Council President Schutt asked, discussion? <br />Mr. Murphy replied, I won't bore you with my comments from the Caucus meeting. Ron e- <br />mailed me and I went to Mr. Clines' house. He had me over. I walked the property. He's right <br />next door. His property is a little bit closer to the road. His neighbors are set back. The fact that <br />
