removed so Mr. Cave could have the fence reinstalled along the property line which would eliminate the gap between the fences. Mr. Cave said that the contractor told him if they had to replace the fence along the property line that he would have to pay for the extra panels. His main goal was to create privacy in his backyard. Ms. Sabo clarified that a permit was pulled to "replace a 56 ft. vinyl fence." Mr. Russell stated that the fence was not installed to the permit specifications. Ms. Sabo clarified that the fence height is measured from grade to the highest point of the fence. Ms. Meredith questioned the minimum amount of space between fences. Mr. Russell stated that the code requires 2 feet between fences to allow for maintenance. Mr. Schmidt pointed out that the panels are 6 ft. high so in addition to the spacing below the panels and the finials, the fence is above the allowed height. Ms. Meredith shared Mr. Schmidt's concerns about the space underneath and the possible collection of debris between the fences. Ms. Sabo and Mr. Allain agreed that the contractor should be held responsible for the incorrect fence installation. Mr. Papotto added that the fence would still provide substantial privacy if it complied with the code. Ms. Meredith moved, seconded by Mr. Allain, to grant the following variance for 16-6961; Edward & Janet Cave; 6065 Paisley Drive: 1. A 10 in. variance for a fence installed in the rear yard; code permits 6 ft., applicant shows 6 ft. 10 in., Section 1135.02(f) Motion denied 1-3, Mr. Papotto voted yes. COMMERCIAL APPEALS ANI) REQUESTS 16-6160; Grace Church; 4816 Dover Center Road Representatives: Clarence Watkins, Bramhall Engineering, 801 Moore Rd, Avon, OH 44011 Proposal consists of parking lot expansion. The property is zoned One Family Residence A. A conditional use permit was granted at the 8/10/16 PDC meeting. The following variances are required: 1. A 17.8 ft. variance for side yard parking setback; code requires 20 ft., applicant shows 2.2 ft.; Section 1118.04(a)(2)(c). 2. A variance for continuous concrete curbs for parking lot perimeter; code requires continuous concrete curbs, applicant shows partial curbing; Section 1161.11(a). Mr. Allain said Mr. Papotto would abstain from the vote due to possible conflict of interest. Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing a parking lot expansion directly to the west of the existing lot. A 2.2 foot side yard parking setback variance has been proposed along the northern parking lot edge. Code requires a minimum 20 foot sicie yard parking setback. The applicant has also requested a variance to permit a lack of continuous curbing along the parking lot edges, the applicant proposes to leave the western edge of the lot uncurbed. Code requires continuous curbing around a side yard parking lot. Mr. Watkins said they will be installing 6 inch vertical curb along the south and east sides of the parking lot but are asking for a variance to not install curbing along the western side of the parking lot. In addition to saving on the costs of installation, the applicant may look into expanding the parking lot further in the future along the west side. Ms. Meredith clarified that each entrance of the parking lot can be used for entering and exiting the property. Mr. Allain
