Proposal consists of a fence on a corner lot. Property is zoned B -One Family Residence. 1. A 42 in. variance for fence height; code allows fences up to 30 in. high when constructed on a corner lot in the side yard, applicant shows 72 in.; Section 1135.02(D)(3). 2. A variance for a solid fence; code requires fences to be 50% open when constructed on a corner lot in the side yard; applicant shows solid fence; Section It 3 5.02(D)(3). Note: A 15 ft. fence setback from side street right-of-way is shown. Ms. Lieber stated that the applicant is proposing to construct a solid 6 foot high fence in the rear yard of their corner lot along Bradley Road. Code allows a maximum of 30 inches and 50% open within 20 feet of the right-of-way. The applicant is showing a setback of 15 feet. Previously the applicant proposed the same fence closer to the property line, which was denied by the BZBA in April 2019. Ms. Walling said they are proposing the 15 foot setback in order to encompass the large tree in their backyard. Mr. Schumann said there is also a line of pine trees just inside the sidewalk so the proposed fence would not impact the traffic visibility and he thought the fence would a nice addition to the property. Ms. Lieber thought the applicants did a good job decreasing the requested variances given their circumstances. Mr. Allain suggested granting a five foot variance for the setback instead of the two proposed variances, Mr. Raig was not in favor of always granting setback variances for corner lot fences. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variance as amended for 19-14924; Brian & Melissa Walling; 5851 Barton Road: 1. 5 ft. variance for the setback of a 6' high solid fence in the rear yard on a corner lot; code requires 20 ft. setback, applicant shows 15 ft. setback; Section 1135.02(D)(3).
