Department prior to installing the gazebo if the variance is granted. Ms. Patton said the yard is smaller and variance would be needed for any structure in the rear yard. She was concerned about the lot coverage being almost double what is allowed. Mr. Allain considered the same thing but thought a smaller structure would not accommodate very many people. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to approve the following variance for 21- 18974; Fadi Maalouf & Silivia Youssef; 23955 Maple Ridge Road: 1. A 16.48% variance for excessive rear yard lot coverage; code permits up to 20% (480 sq. ft. based on rear yard area of 2,400 sq. ft.), applicant shows 36.48% (876 sq. ft.), Section 1135.05(B)(2). Motion passed 4-0. 21-18998; Brigid Krane; 26933 Whitethorn Avenue Representative: Brigid Krane, owner Proposal consists of a new fence in the side and rear yard of a corner lot.

A 6 ft. variance for the setback of a fence in the side and rear yard of a corner lot; code requires 20 ft., applicant shows 14 ft., Section 1135.02(D)(3). Note: The proposed fence is a 6 ft. high solid wood fence. The applicant proposes to install a six-foot high solid fence in the side and rear yard of the corner lot. Fences at this height must be set back a minimum of 20 feet from the side lot line, the fence is 14 feet from the lot line. Ms. Krane purchased the home more than three years ago and there was a chain link fence. The blue line on the drawing shows the proposed fence following the side of her home and going west. The variance requested would keep the fence where it is currently and provide a little privacy since she is on a corner lot. Ms. Lieber pointed out that a limited amount of the yard would be enclosed and it would not impede visibility of the neighbors. A letter from Juleen Hunley at 5116 Whitethom Avenue was received in support of the variance request. Mr. Allain thought the applicant met the minimal variance request while establishing the hardship of her property.
