briefed the Board.
Discussion occurred between the Board and Mr. Carrocci regarding
the placement of the proposed fence.
Board member Kamerman questioned Mr. Carrocci regarding the
development history of the property. Mr. Carrocci replied the
property was annexed into the Glenhope Addition around 1997 and
given a Glenhope Circle address. He further explained this is the
reason their front yard currently faces Pool Road and their side yard
fronts Glenhope Circle North.
Discussion continued regarding the position of the residence on the
property.

Board member Orlando questioned staff regarding why their
recommendation did not follow the 30 foot build line. Abra Nusser
replied due to the topography of the property and the retaining wall,
it would not work.
Discussion occurred regarding the topography of the property, trees
near the proposed fence, and staff’s recommendation.
Keith Seawright, 6609 Glenhope Circle North, came forward and
stated he supported staff’s recommendation.
Discussion occurred among the board regarding the possibility of
constructing the proposed fence in a straight line.
Board member Leathers questioned Mr. Seawright regarding which
proposal he was in support of, the applicant’s or staff’s. Mr.
Seawright replied he was in support of whichever was consistent with
the neighborhood and was closest to the build line.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was
closed at 7:31 p.m.
Board member Elms stated he was more in favor of staff’s proposal
and he felt the applicant’s proposal, if approved, would set a
precedent for the neighborhood.
Discussion occurred regarding both proposals and the best solution.
Board member Leathers made a motion to approve Case VC15-
007 accepting the staff recommended placement of the fence.
Board member Orlando seconded.
The motion to approve Case VC15-007 carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 5 – Elms, Leathers, Orlando, Kainer, and McNosky
