Board members discussed and all were in agreement regarding the need for the extra space. Motion Passed; 5-0 23-24062; Scott Springer -3936 Walter Road Proposal to put mesh on a split rail fence. Property is zoned B -One Family Residence. The following variance is requested: 1. A variance to add 14 -gauge wire to a post and rail fence, code does not permit; applicant shows 14 -gauge wire to a post and rail fence, Section 1369.02 Representative: Scott Springer 3936 Walter Road Mr. Springer explained the fence was to block off the woods in the back and the wire was to keep his dog in his yard. Mr. Papotto asked for clarification that this was not 14 -gauge wire but 14 -gauge mesh, Mr. Springer replied, yes. Ms. Seeley suggested that this variance request has come up several times and that an adjustment to the code might be a good idea. The only request building department had was that the mesh be put up on his side of the fence, not the neighbors side. Director Upton agreed with Ms. Seeley's recommendations. Director Gareau explained that the board was to decide on the deviation of the code. Mr. Rahm moved; seconded by Ms. Patton; to approve 23-24062; Scott Springer -3936 Walter Road.
