Ms. I.ocigno stated that the 22 feet is for privacy and aesthetics. They moved in three years ago, and have installed all new landscaping. Looking for more privacy. Mr. Antonucci stated that they chose to have a 6 foot fence instead of what the code allows for more privacy. He submitted pictures to the board showing the before and after images of the improvements that have been made to the home. Mr. Phillips, 24379 Rosita Lane, commented that when he looks up and down Rosita Lane he does not see any 6 -foot privacy fences that extend in the front of the homes. Ile Likes the idea of having a 6 -foot fence along the back and side yards but does not like the idea of having a fence in the front yard. Mr. Schmidt, 24400 Rosita Lane. wanted to know why a permit was not issued before the fence was put up. Mr. Antonucci responded that he was out of town for a couple of days and he had the fence material in the backyard and his cousin decided he was going to surprise him and when he returned he was upset and stopped the project immediately. Ms. Seeley commented that she spoke to Mr. Antonucci and he recently came in and applied for a building permit and it is pending on tonight's outcome and it looks that what has been installed is the 22 feet. She added that he knew his cousin should not have started installing the fence without a permit. Mr. Rahm asked the building department is the fence he observed is the finished project? Ms. Seeley answered that it k not completely finished and the section that was put up in the front yard is what is in question_ Mr. Rahm asked that the two sections of the fence that are up right now, the post that is closest to the street is that as far as the fence will be? Mr. Antonucci said yes and then it would extend to the backyard. Mr. Mackey commented that at first he believed the fence would extend much further to the street however after viewing the property, clarification from the applicant and observing what has been installed he is okay with the request. Ms. Patton stated that it is a difficult decision when the work has already started. Her concern is with the height of the fence in the front yard_
