Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing a parking pad in the side yard to the rear of the home. Code requires parking pads to be located a minimum distance of five feet from any property line, whereas the applicant shows the proposed pad in their side yard 2-1/2 feet off the western property line, requiring a variance of 2-1/2 feet. Mr. Johnson would like to install the paxking pad to be able to maneuver their cars around the home. Mr. Papotto clarified with the applicant that the parking pad would almost be up to the existing wooden fence. Mr. Johnson said the fence belongs to the neighbor but encroaches on his property according to the information he was given when he bought the home. The fence will not be removed when the parking pad is installed. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variance for 18- 11796; Michael Johnson; 24826 Fawn Drive: 1. A 2-1/2 ft. variance for the location of a parking pad from a property line; code requires 5 ft., applicant shows 2-1/2 ft., Section 1135.02(B)(3)(b). Motion passed 5-0. 18-11798; Tim and Rochelle 1Vlartin; 25197 Deerfield Drive Representatives: Rochelle Martin, owner; Chris Glassburn, Ward 2 Councilman Proposal consists of a new fence on a corner lot. Property is zoned C-One Family Residence. The following variance is requested: 1. A 30 in. variance for the height of a fence located on a corner lot in the required setback; code permits 30 in., applicant shows 60 in., Section 1135.02(d)(3). Note: Applicant's request for a fence not 50% open and more than 30 inches high was denied by the BZBA on July 2, 2018. Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant's current variance request shows a 60 inch high, 50% open wood picket fence three feet off the sidewalk. Code permits a fence that is at least 50% open and does not exceed 30 inches in height to be constructed on a corner lot in the side and rear yards at the street line of the abutting lot on the side street, hence the need for the fence height variance to allow the fence to be constructed near the street line at the 50% openness currently shown. The applicant was denied a variance for a 60 inch high, 0% open fence at the July 2"d meeting. Ms. Martin said they are asking for a wood picket fence that is 50% open and would be a couple feet from the sidewalk to keep as much of their yard fenced in as possible. Mr. Glassburn believed
