Richard Frank. Contractor. explained the house was
constructed closer to Nuggett Drive to save the trees and the
fence will blend in and be stained to match the existing trim.
Discussion ensued on the location of a tree near the
enclosure and if the fence would be attached to the dwelling. Mr.
Prank stated it will be a free-standing enclosure.
Further discussion ensued on the enclosure being a fence
or a wall.
The Planning Official stated the Code limits fences in a
residential district to 6 feet and a separate height variance
will be needed. If the enclosure is treated as a part of the
building, then only the setback variance is required.
The Building Official stated the addition was considered
as a wall as the majority of these requests are attached to the
dwelling.
Two letters of opposition were read into the record
from owners not directly affected, and the consensus of the
Board was that, had they heard the presentation, their objec-
tions would have been overcome.
Upon consideration of the opppeal of Richard L. Frank from
the decision of the Building Official concerning the request for..
a setback variance to attach an 8 foot wood garden enclosure to ~
a single-family residence upon Lot 24, Windsor Woods SUbdivision,
which property is located at the Southeast COTner of Pine Place
and Nuggett Drive and is zoned RS-75 (single-family residential),
it appearing, after this duly constituted public hearing, that .
there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the
way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of the
zoning ordinance as it affects such property and that the same
can be varied in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the zoning ordinance, Mr. Morris moved that such appeal be
granted in accordaince with the application submitted therewith.
with the provision the wall be attached to the main building
and have no roof, and with the further provision that the right
to obtain a building permit in accordance with such variance
shall cease after six (6) months from this date. Mr. House
seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
