was set back approximately 17 feet from the back edge of the sidewalk. The property line roughly follows the back of sidewalk, so the encroachment is estimated at three feet. Mr. Thall said permits were pulled and the email from the inspector regarding the setback requirement was not received. They usually install fences 16 feet from the sidewalk according to the Ohio Building Code. He did not think there was anything affecting visibility for neighbors and there would be a substantial length of fence that would need to be moved. His company is relatively new and learning that communities may have different zoning regulations. Ms. Lieber was disappointed that the fence was installed improperly but thought it was a relatively small deviation. Mr. Allain asked how long he has had his fence business, Mr. Thall said his company has been in the fence business for about nine months but has had a renovation business for 28 years. Mr. Thall said the email to Michelle Thall was missed but he would have complied if he had received it. Mr. Allain does not like when applicants do work and ask for forgiveness later but he does appreciate the contractor being at the meeting. That being said, he recognized it was a small variance request, Mr. Rahm and Mr. Papotto agreed.
