2. A variance for a fence less than 50% open in neighbor's 50 ft. front setback on a corner lot; code requires 50% open, applicant shows privacy shadow box, Section 1135.02 (f)(2)&(1). The oath was administered to Tom and Julie Dunn. Mr. Dunn said the home is on a corner lot and placing the fence to code would render their yard unusable. A letter from his abutting neighbor was submitted stating they had no objection. Mr. Russell said he had no objections to the request. Mr. Dunn said the fence would start at the edge of the home and along the back property line and would not impede the visibility of vehicular traffic. Mr. Papotto asked if the area of 50 feet was the only area which doesn't meet code and Mr. Russell said yes. Mr. Dunn said there will be a shadow box style fence installed as shown. Mr. Raig felt that the request was not unreasonable due to the restrictive requireinents placed upon the corner lot. The board felt the request was warranted for safety and the use of the yard and it would not change the character of the neighborhood. Ms. Bellido moved, seconded by Mr. Raig, to grant APP14-1151: Rosanne Dunn of 26154 Byron Dr. the following vaa-iances: 1. A 2.5 ft. height variance for a fence higher than code allows in neighbor's 50 ft. front setbaek on a corner lot; code permits 30", applicant shows 5 ft., Section 1135.02(f)(2). 2. A variance for a fence less than 50% open in neighbor's 50 ft. front setbaclc on a corner lot; code requires 50% open, applicant shows privacy shadow box fence, Section 1135.02 (f)(2)&(1)• Motion passed 4-0. APP14-1274: Dominic & Faith Rodriguez; 4154 Dover Center Rd. Proposal consists of a fence and the following variances are required: 1. A variance for a six (6) ft. fence in a neighbor's 50 ft. setback on a corner lot; code does not perinit, applicant shows six (6) ft. fence, Section 1135.02(f). 2. A variance for a fence less than 50% open in neighbor's 50 ft. front setbaclc on a corner lot; code requires 50% open, applicant shows privacy dog eared fence, Section 1135.02(0(2)&(1). The oath was administered to Faith Rodriquez and neighbor Tom Benson. Ms. Rodriguez submitted a letter from her neighbor stating they had no objection to the request. Placing the fence to code would place the fence in the middle of the yard and the corner their hoine is located on is a high traffic area. They are concerned for the safety of their children. The fence would provide buffering from vehicle sounds and provide privacy for their family. Mr. Benson said he has no objections to the request and invited his neighbor to abut their fence to his. Mr. Russell said he has no objections. Mr. Raig aslced the style of fence to be installed and Ms. Rodriquez said the fence would be a solid fence. Mr. Papotto said he was concerned fences along both sides of the street would appear alley like. Mr. Raig said the abutting neighbor's line of sight will not be impeded by the fence but he would prefer the fence in line with the edge of the home. Mr. Allain said this home is on a very busy street and without a fence he doesn't believe a parent would allow their child in the yard due to their safety. He said the requirement is a hardship and all members agreed. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by 1VIr. Raig, to grant APP14-1274: Dominic & Faith Rodriguez of 4154 I)over Center Rd. the following variances: 4
