Gomersall, 23228 Stoneybrook Drive in opposition to the request. Architect Edward Almquist submitted new plans, which now requires an 18 ft. variance. Pool size reduced and the rooms rearranged. These plans were compared with the originals submitted: Mrs. Raymond Karey, 23231 Stoneybrook Drive inquired as to the adequacy of storm drainage.

After deliberation, Mr. Scheef made a motion that the plans submitted requesting a variance of 12'10" be presented to interested neighbors by Mr. and Mrs. Almquist and the case to be continued until the next meeting of the Board, seconded by Mr. Tubbs, motion was unanimously approved. 2. Appellant: Myron Sawchak, 3955 Shelley Drive, for a patio fence enclosure on North Side of dwelling. Request is in violation of Ordinance #62-33 which states that fences extending closer to the street line than the building line may not exceed 30" in height. Mr. Sawchak appealed to the Board, asking permiss- ion to erect a chain link fence to enclose the Patio. He has two dogs and shrubs would be planted all around the patio, and the purpose of the higher fence would be to restrain his two dogs.
