Director Max Upton, Law Director Michael Gareau, Building Coordinator Katie Seeley, <br />Building Commissioner Neal Dorenkott, Administrative Assistant Lyn Wilson <br />RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS <br />23-24460; Hiren & Hiral Makwana; 24129 Salzburg Circle <br />Representatives: Hiren and Hiral Makwana; 24129 Salzburg Circle <br />Ms. Seeley explained that this was a proposal of a vinyl privacy fence, and there was a 14 -inch <br />variance to the minimum separation between fences on a common property line. She stated the <br />code required 24 inches and that the applicant provided 10 inches. She described the fence to be <br />a 6 -foot high solid white vinyl fence. <br />Mr. Makwana explained the reason for the variance and shared that the fence that existed already <br />was completely broken and leaned on his property, there were animals and kids going back there <br />and that is was not safe and he wanted to minimize the amount of space to discourage people <br />from going back there. He also stated that the area was not maintained at all. Ms. Seeley pointed <br />out that the Makwana property abutted a commercial property and that the area was not in the <br />sight of any other property owners, and that she didn't think there was an issue with the request. <br />Ms. Patton asked Mr. Makwana how that area would be maintained. Mrs. Makwana said they <br />planned to remove all of the grass and put stones there so that nothing would grow. <br />Mr. Rahm made a motion; seconded by Mr. Kovach; to approve 23-24460 Hiren and Hiral <br />Makwana at 24129 Salzburg Circle. <br />Board member entered into a brief discussion all agreeing that because it was abutting a <br />commercial property and the applicant had plans to maintain the minimal space between it was a <br />reasonable request. <br />Motion Passed: 5-0 <br />23-24835; Antonio Brunello; 25417 Butternut Ridge Rd. <br />Representative: Robert G. Sharp; 25407 Butternut Ridge Rd; neighbor directly to the east of Mr. <br />Brunello. <br />Ms. Seeley introduced the case by stating it was for a new shed. There was a 250 square foot <br />variance for the size of a storage building. The code allowed 200 square foot, and the applicant <br />
