Motion denied 5-0. 18-12728; Daniel Latas; 30875 Windy Hollow Lane Representative: Daniel Latas, owner Proposal consists of a fence on a corner lot. Property is zoned B -One Family Residence. The following variance is requested: 1. An 18 in. height variance for a fence constructed on a corner lot in the side yard; code permits 30 in., applicant shows 48 in., Section 1135.02(D)(3). Note: Fence is proposed to be setback 1 ft. from the sidewalk (street right-of-way). Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing to replace the existing split rail fence with a vinyl rail and post fence enclosing their rear and east side yard. The proposed fence meets opacity requirements but exceeds the maximum allowable height by 18 inches. The proposed 1 - foot right-of-way setback would be allowed but for the proposed fence height. Mr. Latas clarified that the fence would be installed three feet inside the sidewalk where the existing fence is located. The fence would have 1 -inch rails with 3 inches of space between them so it would be 75% open. The fence would keep their dog in and other animals out. He did not think a 30 -inch fence would look aesthetically pleasing. There are also elevated garden beds inside the existing fence so the new fence needs to be higher to counter the additional height. Mr. Raig asked if the fence would be the same height all around, Mr. Latas said it would be. Mr. Allain thought the applicant did a nice job with the proposal. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variance for 18- 12728; Daniel Latas; 30875 Windy Hollow Lane: 1. An 18 in. height variance for a fence constructed on a corner lot in the side yard; code permits 30 in., applicant shows 48 in., Section 1135.02(D)(3). Motion passed 5-0.
