Property is zoned C -One Family Residence. The following variance is requested: 1. A 2 ft. variance for height of a fence in the rear yard; code allows 6 ft., applicant shows 8 ft., Section 1135.02(D)(1). Note: Fence is proposed in a drainage easement. Fence bottom may be required to be elevated to allow for water flow. Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to install an eight -foot board -on -board privacy fence along their rear property line. The remaining fencing surrounding the rear yard is shown at a height of six feet, but the portion along the rear property line requires a two foot variance for height. This portion is located in a drainage easement and is therefore subject to Engineering Department requirements to allow for adequate water flow. Ms. Garofalo said the back of their property backs up against an alley of a plaza and their home is easily visible by people behind the plaza. There is an existing five-foot chain link fence. Mr. Tabasso said the additional height is requested because of the grade difference between their property and the plaza. Mr. Russell said an additional review may be required for an eight -foot fence. Mr. Papotto thought the variance is justified. Mr. Mackey believed they should have some privacy from the commercial property. Mr. Raig pointed out that this is why commercial developments are required to have some barriers when abutting residential property.
