Which is in violation of Ord, 90-125 section, (1135.02 D 1, F 1). Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties forward, and reviewed the variances requested. Mr. Wyrwas, came forward to present his proposal. He indicated that he had a new drawing. Mr. Gomersall suggested the board had all the information they needed and reviewed that there was a potential hazard for kids riding their bikes or skateboards on the sidewalks. Mr. Koberna inquired as to what the height of the fence would be. Mr. Wyrwas indicated that it would be a 3-foot high picket fence, as the curb was a very dangerous corner and he is trying to keep his children safe. He commented that Coe Street ended right at his back yard. A lot of drivers jump the curb, which is lined up to his kitchen. Mr. Gomersall suggested that there was an existing tree, which the fence should be placed in from on the property or it should be a.ngled so that the fence wouldn't be so close to the sidewalk. Mr. Wyrwas indicated that the fence would be 50% open face and both he and his wife could see over the fence while driving by in their cars. Mr. Koberna suggested that he was concerned about children riding bikes hitting the fence. Mr. Gomersall suggested moving the fence in 30 inches and go diagonal to the sidewalk. 1VIr. Kremzar suggested there was an existing fence that was like what was being suggested in the area. Mr. Conway questioned how long Mr. Wyrwas's driveway was. Mr. Wyrwas indicated that he had a very short driveway maybe 15 feet. Mr. Conway reviewed that Mr. Tallon was suggesting that Mr. Wyrwas place the proposed fence 12 inches from the sidewalk and from the corner post put a 45-degree angle either way. Mr. Wyrwas repeated what he understood Mr. Conway to be suggesting. Mr. Wyrwas questioned if he would be given a drawing to indicate what the board wanted. Mr. Conway suggested when Mr. Wyrwas came in for his variance the building department would help him out. No further comments were made. J.
