The proposal consists of a new 4 foot picket vinyl fence. The following variances are requested: 1. An 18 inch variance for fence exceeding height (code permits 30 inches, applicant shows 48 inches). 2. A 12 foot variance for fence extending nearer the street line than building set back (code permits 0 ft., applicant shows 12 ft.). 3. A 17% variance for 50% of fence open (see note) (code requires 50%, applicant shows 33%) Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 (f)(1)). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review the request. Mr. John Lombardo came forward to be sworn in and address the board on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. Faddoul. He handed out a brochure depicting the proposed fencing to be used. He said the applicants want to provide their small children and dog an ample place to play. They live on the corner lot at Carla and Hawkins. Mr. Maloney said the way the fence is designed, there is a drainage ditch in the back and that is why it is at the angle, from the northwest to the northeast corner. He said they are also showing the fence to be 1 foot off the sidewalk. He would like to see it 3 feet off the sidewalk instead. Mr. Lombardo agreed to that. Mr. Maloney said because of the driveway, where the fence comes out from the house, he would like to see that at a 45 degree angle because if there are children coming down there, it is for the protection of the cars. Mr. Lombardo said he thinks the applicant can live with that. Mrs. Sergi asked if it will be the same height as the fence by the drainage so it will all be in a line. Mr. Lombardo replied it will be, it will all be 4 feet high. There were no further questions or comments. J. Maloney made a motion to grant Stacy and Mark Faddoul, 24086 Carla Lane, the request for variance (1123.12), which consists of a new 4 foot picket vinyl fence and that the following variances be granted as amended: 1. An 18 inch variance for fence exceeding height (code permits 30 inches, applicant shows 48 inches). 2. A 10 foot variance for fence extending nearer the street line than building set back (code permits 0 ft., applicant shows 10 ft.). There will be 3 feet between the sidewalk and the fence. 3. A 17% variance for 50% of fence open (see note) (code requires 50%, applicant shows 33%) 4. The fence is to be constructed at the northeast corner of the homeowner's house at a 45- degree angle to within 3 feet of the fence line for safety from the driveway. Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 (f)(1)). The motion was seconded by W. Kremzar and unanimously approved. VARIANCES GRANTED AS AMENDED. During the framing of the motion, the Building Commissioner, Mr. David Conway, asked Mr. Maloney if he is asking the applicant to go 3 feet in, in order to kick it out 45 degrees. Mr. Maloney replied that is correct. NOTE: This request is subject to reconsideration at the March 3, 2004 meeting. 5). Ganlev Westside VW; 25600 Lorain Road: (WRD 1) Request for variance (1123.12).
