house. N1r. Gallagher stated that the house would be about 15 feet high so there would be 7 feet showirg over the fence. Building Coru,issioner Conway stated that the Board had originally required that the house be painted to raatch the restaurant. 14r. Gallagher had concerns about the appearance since the gable would show over the fence. Mr. Patterson pointed out that another Board is requiring that a fence be installed down the other property line, and he believed that it would look better to have a fence on the other side of the restaurant to balance it. P,fr. Conway advised that the fence was required to protect the adjacent property. Mr. Ingrassia clarified that the fence would come down the center line of the lot and would turn at the parking lot across the front of the house. It was elarified that this house is used for an office, but Mr. Patterson stated it could aliqays be used as a residence in the future. If they can install the fence, they do not want to paint the house. Mr. Gallagher thought maybe some shrubs in front of the fence might soften it and he is also concerned that the fence might give a dungeon effect especially inside the building. Mr. Patterson maintained that the two Boards are giving conflicting advice which is not logical. They offered to put evergreens along the other line and the neighbor and the Board wanted a fence. Mr. Conway does not believe the Boards are in conflict and pointed out that the A.R.B. looked at the proposal w-i.th a fence down one line. Mr. Ingrassia suggested painting the fence to match the building, and he also advised that Mr. Szarka, the awner, did not believe that this would darken his office, since the windows are 4 or 5 feet from grade. He pointed out that they use the back door for an entrance. He does not believe there is enough room for shrnbs and if some were planted, they might hinder cars turning around. Mr. Patterson believed that having a house right behind the restaurant, made the restaurant look like a mom and pop operation and he offered to present plans, but Mr. Ga,llagher did not believe that was necessary. Mr. Zergott suggested that they present a prospective drawing of how this would look. Since installing the fence would not hold up the opening., it was decided to table this until the next meeting in order for the members to take another look at the property. The r?embers ivould like A7r. Sohn to look at this as well. V. NEW BUSINESS: No items. VI. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 p.m. B. rgott, Chai B. 2
