mitigate their concerns. Tom said there the surrounding property owners sent letters that now
support the variance as long as the following conditions are placed on the variance:

^ The fence will be placed six feet (6') from the property line;
^ Photinia shrubs, holly and/or crepe myrtles to be planted on three foot (3') centers;
^ Bradford pear trees to be planted in the bed; and
^ No metal edge to be placed along the shrub bed.

Cole, the applicant, explained how the laid on curb within the subdivision allows for additional
footage in the right-of-way.
Butch Bercher commented on the way the applicant met with the neighbors and submitted a
cohesive plan that did not alienate any neighbors. Butch Bercher moved to approve the 9'
fence setback variance with the following conditions:
^ The fence will be a five foot, six inch (5' 6") tall iron rail fence;
^ The fence will be placed six feet (6') from the property line;

Discussion of Items Not on the Agenda
There was discussion by the Board about a variance that was granted on property at the corner of
Montclair Drive and Glade Road. Rich Munson said the applicant stated he planned on
constructing a rail fence similar to others in the neighborhood along Montclair Drive and he has
built a four rail fence that is higher than the other rail fences in the neighborhood. He asked staff
to check into the matter.
There was also discussion about the variance for a fence that was granted on 111 Greenbriar
Lane and it appears that the property owner moved accessory buildings up next to the fence
which would be an encroachment over the building line. Staff said they would check on that
situation.
