The following variance is required: <br />1. A variance for a 6 foot privacy fence located in required side yard setback on a corner lot, <br />code permits a fence no greater than 30 inches in height and 50% open, applicant shows 6 ft <br />privacy fence, section 1135.02 (fl(2). <br />Note: BZA granted a variance for a 4 ft chain link fence on 5/1974. <br />Julie Brown was sworn in. Ms Brown said the existing chain linlc fence is dilapidated and needs <br />to be replaced. Their home is at the corner of Noreen and Hawkins Drive which is a <br />thoroughfare to Clague Park. There is a tremendous amount of foot traffic along their side yard <br />which is fully exposed. While she understands a privacy fence will not keep their dogs from <br />sensing foot traffic it will keep pedestrians from tormenting their dogs and give them privacy. <br />The fence will enhance the appearance of the area and will match the white trim of the home. <br />Mr. McReynolds said there are no vehicle safety concerns as there is no abutting driveway. Ms. <br />Diver said the condition of the chain linlc fence warrants it being replaced. There are no <br />driveways that are adversely affected by the fence and installing the fence allows the owners the <br />opportunity to have privacy and enjoy their baclcyard. Mr. Raig said the natural vegetation in the <br />area is much more intrusive then the proposed fence and due to the amount of foot traffic a solid <br />fence is needed for privacy. <br />2
