BOARD OF BUILDING CODE APPEALS CITY OF NOItTH OLMSTED MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 ROLL CALL The meeting was called to at 5:35 p.m. in Council Cliambers. Present: Donna Sabo, Norman Althen, Dan Jarachovic Absent: Robert Lipcsey, BJ Meder Staff: Assistant Law Director Bryan O'Malley, Assistant Building Commissioner Dale Mitchell, Clerk of Commissions Donna Rote Mr. O'Malley announced that as there were only three board members present and three votes are required for approval applicants could request to be tabled until more members were present and both applicants chose to proceed. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Jarachovic moved, seconded by Mr. Althen, to approve the August 20, 2009 minutes which was unanimously approved 3-0. NEW BUSINESS Robert Dehoff; 25171 Doe Drive: Proposal consists of a chainlink fence enclosing the rear yard. The following variance is requested: A variance to construct a 75 foot section of 4 ft high black vinyl chainlink fence along the rear property line where a neighbor's chainlink fence exists and is in violation of section 1369.03 (A (3)). Note; there is a 10 ft CEI easement between the two properties. Mr. Dehoff was sworn in and said the fence was needed for privacy and the family pet. He was not aware the fence was not allowed until he applied for the permit. The fence would be installed outside of the CEI easement which is just about the same location of the white decretive fence shown in the pictures submitted. Mrs. Sabo questioned if the decretive fence would be removed and Mr. Dehoff said it would be removed when the chainlink fence was installed. Mr. Mitchell noted there were several homes within the area which had fences and did not object to the request if the decretive fence was removed. Mr. Jarachovic questioned if the applicant understood that the board was only addressing the 75 foot rear section and he would have to seek a variance from BZA for the side section of fence and Mr. Dehoff said he was scheduled for the October first BZA meeting. Mrs. Sabo asked if there would be a gate along the back and Mr. Dehoff said there would be two gates along either side of his home but not the rear. He and his rear neighbor work together to ensure the area between the fences are maintained. Mr. Althen moved, seconded by Mr. Jarachovic, to grant Robert Dehoff of 25171 Doe Drive a variance to construct a 75 foot section of 4 ft high black vinyl chainlink fence along the rear property line where a neighbor's chainlink fence exists as long as there is 10 feet 1
