no, only the safety of his children and family with regards to people
coming inside their home when no one was home, mistaking the home
for a bed and breakfast.
Board member Moore questioned Mr. Mann regarding what type of
materials would be used to construct the fence? Mr. Mann replied they
would be using wrought iron with brick. He stated the brick would be
about two feet in height with wrought iron across the top. He stated the
total height of the fence would be about five feet.
There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at
7:16 p.m.
Board member Moore moved to approve case A-08-002. Board member
Sams seconded.
Board member Munson stated there is a safety concern with regards to
placing the fence 40 foot from the road. He stated it would create a
hidden pocket with the adjacent subdivision fence which could allow for
someone to climb the fence into the adjacent yard without being seen.
Board member Sams concurred with Board member Munson and stated
the tree that is closest to the proposed gate could be compromised if the
gate or fencing where to be moved closer to it.
Chairman McNosky concurred with Board member Sams with regards to
the tree being compromised.
