Mr. Allain did not think the need for a shadow box fence was substantiated and believed that the fence should be 50% open. Mr. Papotto did not think the visibility around the fence would be affected because of the way the driveway and street are situated and there would be some visibility through the board of the shadowbox fence. Mr. Raig was not in favor of the solid fence so close to the sidewalk and suggested that the fence location could be moved to reduce the required variances. Mr. Allain agreed that the fence could run parallel to the side of the house instead of along the sidewalk. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variances as amended for 18-11523; Tim & Rochelle Martin; 25197 Deerfield Drive: 1. An 18 ft. variance for a fence higher than 30 inches high in the front yard; code requires a 20 ft. setback, applicant shows a 2 ft. setback; Section 1135.02(D)(3). 2. A 2.5 ft. variance for fence height; code requires 30 inches, applicant shows 5 ft.; Section 1135.02(D)(3). 3.
