Building, 3800 University Boulevard, in the City of West University
Place, on Monday, June 11, 1990, with the following members present:
Philip C. Lewis, John M. Farrell, Nicholas J. Aschliman and Sharon
Mathews. Also present was John Dennis, Code Compliance Officer.
COMMENTS OF CONCERNED RESIDENTS: Mr. Lewis invited residents to
speak w o had matters they wished to bring to the attention of the
General Appeals Board.
There were none present who wished to speak.
CONSIDERATION OF FENCE AT 3806 SWARTHMORE: James M, and Lisa H.
Wheeler, 3806 Swarthmore, request a variance to erect a two foot
extension to the fence surrounding the property to make the fence eight
feet in height. The fence is five feet instead of six feet from part
of the neighbor's house. Application, letter, plot of the property,
sketch of the property and photographs were provided for the Board's
review. A short section, about 20 feet, parallels the house in which
five feet would not be permitted and also a section, about 23 feet,
further back in which an eight foot fence would not be permitted. The
variance is being requested because of the hardship of a dog next door
that is of great concern.
After general discussion of possible options, motion was made by Sharon
Mathews, seconded by John Farrell, that the request for a variance
to the fence ordinance in respect to granting a five foot set back as
opposed to a six foot set back in building an eight foot fence be
denied.
Voting Aye: Philip Lewis, John Farrell, Sharon Mathews,
Nicholas Aschliman
Voting No: None
Absent: None
~
Mr. Lewis suggested that Wayne Perry, Chief Building Inspector, explain
to Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler that there are some solutions to getting an
eight foot fence on the rear most and even the center most sections of
the fence. All but the last portion toward the front street could be
erected eight feet without violating the ordinance.
