<br />Krankovich said his idea is to discourage people from being back there. Mr. Engoglia asked how <br />long Mr. Krankovich has owned the home. Mr. Krankovich replied he has been there 2 1/2 years <br />and the wall was there when he moved in. Mr. Althen asked how high the proposed fence will be. <br />Mr. Krankovich indicated it will be 4 feet high. It will be wood and will match what is there. It is <br />pressure treated lumber and he will put a finish on it. Mr. Conway said the board needs to take <br />into consideration an e-mail that was submitted by Mr. Krankovich's neighbor (see attached). Mr. <br />Krankovich then addressed each of his neighbor's concerns. He indicated the fence will be at the <br />top level of the retaining wall and not at ground level. The height will be 4 feet. Mr. Conway <br />commented that the neighbor will see about 2 or 2 1/2 feet of Mr. Krankovich's fence. Mr. <br />Krankovich confirmed that. He said the style and configuration of the fence will blend in. The <br />color will be virtually the same as that of the neighbor. It will be a little different because it is <br />new, pressure treated lumber so it will take a little while to age. Mr. Engoglia asked Mr. Conway <br />if he believes the applicant has addressed the concerns expressed in the e-mail. Mr. Conway said <br />he and Mr. Althen have discussed that. Mr. Althen asked if the applicant plans to put a gate in <br />there to get access between the 2 fences. Mr. Engoglia said the board would require that. Mr. <br />Krankovich said he had not considered that. He said he would not have a problem doing that. He <br />said according to the survey he had done, the neighbor's fence actually sits on his property. He <br />said he may have to have a conversation with the neighbor. He then reviewed the survey with Mr. <br />Engoglia. Mr. Althen asked what the minimal requirement will be between the 2 fences. Mr. <br />Engoglia said it has to be 2 feet. Mr. Krankovich asked if they can say 2 feet from his property <br />line because if he has to make the neighbor move the fence back that will have an impact. He <br />would like to keep his line survey true as opposed to working off the neighbor's fence, which <br />actually sits on his property. NIr. Engoglia asked how much the neighbor's fence sits on his line. <br />Mr. Krankovich said the surveyor indicates it is a couple of inches but he is not exactly sure. He <br />said the surveyor could not put a stake in. Mr. Conway said if it is only a couple of inches, it is <br />not a problem. Mr. Engoglia said the surveyor should still put a stake in. If a surveyor can't get to <br />Mr. Krankovich's line, they have to put a stake in and indicate how far in the stake is. Mr. <br />Conway said the consensus seems to be if the applicant is 2 feet off the original fence, the board <br />does not have a problem with the proposal. The applicant would need a gate entrance to make it <br />accessible for maintenance. Mr. Krankovich asked if the board has a preference for the gate <br />location. The board members concluded the applicant can decide that. Mr. Krankovich said he <br />would put it on the side for aesthetic reasons. <br />P. Engoglia made a motion to approve the proposal for Jerry Krankovich of 5582 Quail Run Drive <br />with the condition that the applicant will have 2 feet between his fence and the neighbor's existing <br />fence, and it will have a gate for maintenance and the color will match the existing fence. The <br />motion was seconded by M. Conway and unanimously approved. <br />2. Dennis Brown; 5978 Columbia Road: (WRD 4) <br />Applicant is seeking a permit to match the aesthetics of the existing foundation. <br />Codified Ordinance Chapter 1305.05-C "Exposed exterior masonry walls", "Exposed exterior <br />walls of masonry construction above grade shall be faced with brick, stone, or other material <br />hereafter approved by the Board of Building Code of Appeals". <br />Mr. Brown came forward to address the board. He presented pictures to the board members and <br />said he understands most of the members have seen his home. He said he overheard a <br />conversation between the inspector and his contractor about having to parge the foundation and no <br />one has been able to give him a satisfactory explanation of what that means. Mr. Puzzitiello <br />explained that parging the foundation means he will cover up the block with a similar type of <br />2
