ZBA 30-V-88, 902 - 918 Whitegate Drive ZBA 30-V-88
It was noted that this case deals with a request for 902 - 918
a replacement fence for all but one home of this WHITEGATE DR

height is permitted due to the fact that the rear
yards of these properties abut an arterial roadway-
Central Rcad.

The request was to permit an 8 foot hiqh fence,
due to the fact that the grade at the fence line
on some of the properties is lower and at those
points the fencing would result in an 8' height.
This case was heard by the Zoning Board of
Appeals, which Board was final in its decision to
grant the request, however 3 residents on the
north side of Central Road filed an objection to
the decision of the zoning Board of Appeals.
Mrs. Judy Kermin, objector, stated that some of
the property owners requesting the variation do
not maintain the green area between the curb and
fence and stated that she and the other 2
objectors feel the request should be denied.
Mr. Judd Strickland spoke on behalf of the
Petitioners stating that the area will be
maintained and that a couple of the Petitioners
have stated that they will have gates installed
for easier access to the area behind the fence.
The Zonlng Board of Appeals recommended a comprise
be reached whereby the height at the top of the
fence would be uniform for those participating,
allowing the height to exceed 6 feet in those
areas where the ground elevation is lower.
It was noted that while the objectors are
following the established procedure, the
?etitioners could obtain a permit for a 6 foot
high fence without having to go through the
hearing process.
Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Murauskis,
moved 5o concur with the decision of the Zoning
Board of Appeals to permit a uniform fence height
of 6 feet for the subject properties which would
result in a height of eight feet in some areas.
