R Klesta motioned to approve the March 20, 2003 minutes as written. M. Conway seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. III. BUII.DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1. Doug Fenderbosch; 5140 Dewev Road: Proposal consists of a pond. A variance to not erect a fence around pond (code requires a fence), section (1345). Vice Chairman Klesta requested the Building Commissioner give his opinion on the new plans. Mr. D. Conway reviewed that the applicant was asked to return with plans similar to Saint Clarence church for the board to review. Mr. Fenderbosch suggested that the block has been delivered and stones will be delivered tonight and he will follow the plans. His understanding is that he needed to place stones about 12 inches high around the pond to make the area visible. Mr. Klesta suggested raising the rear blocks to 18 inch high and then taper the blocks on the sides downward to the front, which would be 10 inches high. Mr. Fenderbosch agreed that tearing down the block back to front would work. He has enough blocks to taper. Mr. Althen questioned if the board would still require rod iron in the front with the back and sides tapered. Mr. Klesta voiced that he felt the rod iron would be more of a hindrance then a benefit. The board would be happy with a rear wall at 18 inches then taper the two side from 18 inches downward to 10 inches when they reach the front of the pond. Mr. D. Conway questioned if the board members were referring to the 7-foot dimension. Mr. Klesta answered "yes". No further comments were made. R. Klesta motioned to approve Doug Fenderbosch of 5140 Dewey Road his variance to not erect a fence around a pond as amended and agreed to. The pond will have an 18 inch rear perimeter wall with at least half the side walls being 18 inches high then stepping down to reach a 10 inch height in the front of the pond. The front of the pond will be 10 inches high with the stone placed on top. M. Conway seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved.
