Mr. Conway noted that the plan did not show a rear gate and requested the owner submit a new plan showing the location and size of the proposed rear gate. Mr. Mayer said new posts would abut each of the neighbor's side fences and he would submit a new plan showing the gate. Mr. Althen said he had no objections as long as there is a gate for access. Mr. Conway asked that the gate be included into the motion. Mrs. Sabo advised that approval would be conditioned upon the gate being installed. Mr. Meder moved seconded by Mr. Althen to grant Robert & Mary Mayer of 6345 Brighton Drive a 67 foot variance to install a section of chainlink fence along their rear yard outside the 10 foot CEI easement area with the condition a gate is to be installed for maintenance access which is in violation of section 1369.03 (A (3)) and was unanimously approved 3-0. _ 1
