Testimony of Witnesses and Cross Examination, if any Dan Constantakos, Contractor, representative for the applicant, requested a variance for a concrete wall, piers, and vinyl clad fence and operating aluminum gates with appropriate landscaping in lieu of the present wooden stockade fence and gates. Mr. Constantakos provided photographs of the proposed fencing. Mr. Constantakos advised that item 5 should be corrected since the location of the wall was not exactly in the same spot as the existing fence, but was back off the street further. Mr. Constantakos explained that the primary reason for the new fencing was to ensure better safety for Mr. Shockley's grandchildren and dogs, and protection for the property. Clerk of the Board Scott D. Ladd reported notice had been given to all property owners within 300' and no communication for or against had been received. Martin Haynes, 19195 Riverside Drive, a neighbor of the applicant, was sworn in and expressed concern that with the requested wall height he would lose his view of the river and requested that the height of the wall on the water side be reduced. Mr. Haynes clarified that the location he was concerned about was the north side of his property and the south side of Dr. Shockley's property on the back section near the river. Mr. Constantakos verified that the fence extended to the water and was required because of the pool. Clerk of the Board Scott D. Ladd commented that the minimum height required was 4' and the maximum that was allowed was 61. Mr. Constantakos explained that the fence would not be over 41 in height at the back of the property and it would be black vinyl clad fencing. Mr. Haynes stated a 4' high fence was no problem at all. Vice Chair Humpage reported he had looked at other properties on Riverside Drive and that number Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 19, 2000 Page 4 358 had a very similar wall to that being proposed for Dr. Shockley's property, which looked fine. It was noted that the property to the north of Dr. Shockley was pending sale, and there had been no objection from the current owner. Maintenance of the roadway was discussed. Mr. Ladd responded that two years ago the Village had annexed seven properties along the roadway at the same time, and although the County maintained the road, the Village had shared costs on some items such as the pathway. Boardn*m1ber Newman made a motion to approve the application as submitted, stating that it met the criteria of the variance ordinance, and was farther back than the existing fence. Boardmember Poirier seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron Poirier - for David Owens - for James Humpage - for Jon Newman - for Steve Pullon - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. V.
