MAYOR'S REPORT DECORATIVE At the last meeting of the Village Board, Stan Welch, FENCE IN PARKWAY 1112 Greenwood, had requested relief from the 1112 GREENWOOD regulation prohibiting an existing decorative fence constructed in the parkway and to allow it to remain. This matter was deferred to this meeting in order to give staff an opportunity to respond to the request. There was discussion as to the fact that sight obstructions are not permitted in the parkway and whether a split rail or decorative fence was a sight obstruction. The suggestion was made that Mr. Welch relocate this decorative fence from the parkway to within his lot lines. David Clements, Director of Planning & Zoning stated that fences are not permitted in the front yard. There was considerable discussion as to whether a decorative fence should be considered a sight obstruction, as well as the fact that there are many decorative fences placed in front yards throughout the Village and since no complaint has been received, the Village has made no requirement to remove them. Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to grant the waive requested and permit the decorative fence to remain in the parkway until such time as it deteriorates and falls into disrepair. Upon roll call: Ayes: Busse, Corcoran, Floros, Wattenberg Nays: Arthur, Van Geem Motion carried.
