COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS - CITIZENS TO BE HEARD FENCE HEIGHT Mrs. Virginia Lipinsky, 605 Eastman, stated that she 605 EASTMAN obtained a building permit and installed a 5 foot high fence over a year ago. Since that time she attached an open weave trellis to approximately 4 sections of the fence (25 feet) of the 60 foot long fence for the purpose of providing support to climbing rose bushes. Representatives of the Village have since informed Mrs. Lipinskythat in order to retain the 6 foot height, she would be required to file an application for variation before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mrs. Lipinskyrequested the Village Board to permit the trellis section of the fence to remain, noting that the variation process is costly, lengthy and she would prefer not to have to go through the process. It was the opinion of the Village Board members that the regulations of the Village must be upheld and if Mrs. Lipinsky wants to retain the trellis section of the fence she must file an application for variation before the Zoning Board of Appeals.
