Basically,
the
code
requirement
here
is
all
residential
offend
residential
districts,
no
fences,
walls
or
hedges
shall
be
out
shall
exceed
four
feet
in
height
when
located
within
the
required
front
yard.
The
subject
property
is
located
on
the
corner
of
meijer,
lane
and
keystone
road.
There
was
a
previously
a
previous
variance
granted
for
this
project
for
this
property.
Essentially,
what
how
curd
is
when
the
expansion
of
Keystone
Road
occurred?
A
There
is
a
great
differential
there
and
the
staff
agreed
with
the
applicant
during
that
variance
that
it
was
warranted
to
allow
for
on
the
property
adjacent
to
the
portion
of
the
property
adjacent
to
the
actual
right-of-way
intersection
to
allow
for
an
eight-foot
fence
along
the
side
and
then
a
6-foot
high
fence
in
the
front
yard
in
that
portion,
that's
closest
to
the
actual
intersection.
What
the
applicant
is
now
requesting
is
something
different
than
that.
A
A
With
that
the
great
differential
issue
that
was
the
subject
of
the
previous
variance
really
doesn't
apply
here
where
we're
talking
about
on
the
property.
Yes,
you
can
see
the
street,
but
this
property
is
the
first
property
into
or
from
the
intersection
in
so
you're
always
going
to
have
that
situation
on
the
corner
lot,
where
you
can
visibly
see
the
intersection
that
that's
not
something
that's
unique
to
this
particular
property.
A
However,
the
applicant
has
installed
the
the
fence
that
they
asked
for
in
the
preview
in
the
previous
request
and
still
is
now
asking
for
an
additional
thing,
her
basis
for
that
request,
which
I'll
read
into
the
record
after
we
go
through
the
staff
report
since
she's,
not
here,
she'd,
ask
that
that
be
done
basically
doesn't
give
me
justification
for
that.
Her
concerns
are
more
in
line
with
you
know,
safety
for
her
family
concerns
with
what's
going
on
in
the
neighborhood,
and
that
type
of
thing
this
variance
would
have
to
base
on
physical
conditions.
A
It
would
have
to
be
based
on
that
topographical
issue
or
some
other
defect
in
the
law.
That
would
promote
that
physical
hardship
and
that's
just
something
that
staff
cannot
find
that
physical
hardship
here
and
there's
been
no
justification
or
proof
provided
by
the
applicant
that
a
four-foot
fence
put
in
the
front
yard
would
not
make
her
say,
feel
safe.
There's
been
no
proof
that
a
six-foot
fence
is
necessary
versus
the
forefoot,
and
without
that,
there's
really
no
basis
for
this
variant.
A
So
staff
basically
has
to
recommend
denial
on
this,
because
it's
not
a
physical
hardship
of
the
land.
That's
that's
causing
this
application.
This
application
is
a
request
that
is
based
on
safety
and
other
concerns
with
the
neighborhood
that
staff
really
can't
speak
to
in
the
code,
for
the
variance
portion
does
not
really
speak
to
that
issue.
A
So
that
being
the
case,
that
is
all
that
I
have
as
a
staff
is
basically
my
recommends,
denial
and
it's
really
based
on
physical
hardship
and
lack
thereof
and
lack
their
proof
of
a
4-foot
versus
a
six-foot
fence
and
how
you're
going
to
feel
safer
behind
a
six-foot
versus
a
four-foot
fence.
I
need
something
to
have
a
basis
for
that.
So
what
I'll
do
is
now
read
into
the
public
record
unless
you
guys
have
any
app
questions
of
me,
what
the
applicants
request
actually
was.
H
A
H
A
A
A
A
Is
is
exactly
you
see
it
around
tarpon,
because
that's
the
regulation,
people
who
don't
come
in
for
a
variance
requesting
any
deviation
from
that
or
required
anything
within
that
front
yard
area
which
is
designated
basis
behind
the
setback.
Anything
that's
before
the
setback
requires
them
to
this
would
be
considered.
Their
front
yard
requires
them
to
go
no
higher
than
four
foot
the
basis
of
that
four
foot.
I
couldn't
tell
you
what
the
basis
for
that
is
in
planning
in
other
communities.
A
It's
generally
done
that
way,
because
the
idea
is,
we
don't
want
to
wall
off
houses
from
the
larger
neighborhood.
It's
meant
to
be.
It's
meant
to
allow
for
you
to
have
that
security
that
secure
perimeter,
but
at
the
same
time
provide
for
ample
opportunity
for
neighbors
to
walk
by
or
that
type
of
thing
for
interaction.
That
type
of
thing,
that's
the
reasoning
behind
from
the
planning
perspective.
H
A
That's
what
basically
that's
what
you
said.
She
said
that
they
could
just
climb
over
the
four-foot
fence
and
and
I
understand,
but
that's
still
not
proof
for
that's
still
not
enough
evidence
that
to
base
a
decision
on
that
of
this
type
of
situation,
because
unless
the
code
changes
to
allow
six-foot
fences
in
the
front
yard,
the
code
says
four
foot.
My.
H
A
C
A
If
it
meets
the
requirements
for
height
for
for
the
height
in
this
case,
she
wants
to
exceed
that
height
requirement.
I
could
approve
this
if
she
asked
for
a
four-foot
fence
if
it
was,
the
material
is
not
the
problem
here.
What
the
design
of
the
fence
is
really
not
the
problem,
it's
the
height
of
the
fence.
That's
the
issue,
because
actually
the
fence
that
she's
proposing
there's
pictures
in
the
packet
is
the
same
type
of
fencing
that
she's
put
on
the
rest
of
the
property.
A
C
A
Is
and
what
the
previous
variance
request
was:
was
eight
foot
on
the
side
and
six
foot
in
the
front,
and
that
was
granted,
and
so
that's
what
she
put
that's
what
she
previously
put
in.
So
what
she's
asking
for
is
to
have
that
set
down.
She
has
the
eight
foot
in
the
side
she's
asking
for
that
step
down
for
six
and
be
able
to
extend
it
right
along
the
front
of
the
property
which
essentially
walls
her
off
from
the
entire
neighborhood.
D
A
I
I
know
what
it
is
another
other
places
I've
worked
and
you
know
many
places
have
requirements
for
lower
fences
in
the
front
yard.
It's
not
a
uniform
it's
on
a
uniform
requirement,
but
generally
there
are
fences
where
most
people
don't
want
to
have
a
privacy
fence
right
or
wrong
in
the
front
of
their
yard.
There
are
places
that
you
allow
that,
though,
in
certain
districts
and.
D
A
Of
the
situated
Senor
in
this
particular
land
development
code
have
been
on
the
books
for
a
lot
of
years,
so
we've
lost
a
lot
of
the
intent
for
why
they
were
adopted.
What
was
the
intent
from?
Was
it
an
aesthetic
issue?
Was
it
a
uniformity
issue?
What
was
the
intention
of
that
code
being
established.
F
May
be
able
to
answer
this
question
if
you'd
like
it
was
I
believe
it
is
a
generalization
that
there
is
a
four
foot
in
the
front
code
and
all
the
way
up
to
the
first
part
of
your
house.
It's
supposed
to
be
four
feet
all
the
way
around
then
six
feet
from
your
house
back,
and
that
was
for
a
a
security
situation
to
not
be
toyed
and
off.
F
So
nobody
could
see
you
coming
in
or
out
of
your
house,
and
the
second
part
was
for
vehicles,
turning
especially
if
you're
on
a
corner
which
this
doesn't
apply
in
this
particular
house,
but
in
a
lot
of
houses.
If
you
did
have
that
6-foot
front
and
six
foot
side,
you
would
not
be
able
to
see
cars
on
in
a
turning
situation.
So
those
are
your
pretty
much
your
reasoning
for
it.
That's.
A
Here,
however,
it
is
one
of
those
things
when
you
back
out
of
your
house,
you
have
a
six-foot
fence
and
you're
coming
down
that
driveway,
you
don't
see,
what's
coming
behind
you
from
that
corner,
so
in
that
particular
case,
a
four-foot
fence
at
least
would
allow
you,
when
you're
up
in
your
car
would
at
least
allow
you
to
see
over
the
edge
of
the
fence.
If
there
were,
you
know
cars
coming
down
that
road
now.
F
A
She's,
basically
making
the
request
of
you
to
allow
for
the
height.
The
design
of
the
fence
in
this
particular
case
would
be
based
on
the
district.
This
is
outside
the
historic
district,
so
there
are
no
guidelines
for
the
type
of
fencing
that
they
that
they
have
to
do
like.
She
doesn't
have
to
do
this.
She
could
do
a
vinyl
privacy
fence.
She
could
do
board
on
board.
She
could
do
a
picket
fence.
You
could
do
whatever
a
chain-link
fence,
whatever
she
wants
to
do.
A
H
E
F
Know
looking
at
the
property
I
can
understand
that
the
property
across
the
street
is
a
course
site
to
look
at
and
in
that
aspect.
I
could
see
her
point
as
far
as
the.
If
it
was
my
house,
I'm
I,
don't
know
if
I'd
be
putting
a
six-foot
fence.
There's
such
a
small
amount
of
property
in
the
front
that
you'd
be
caging
yourself
in
it,
be
a
nightmare
for
to
have
to
open
it
every
time
to
pull
a
car
in
and
out
what
to
get
in
and
out,
there's
no
place
to
even
swing
the
door.
E
F
I,
you
know,
that's
why
I
don't
understand.
I
would
have
preferred
her
to
be
here
today
to
ask
those
questions
of
what
her
ideas
would
be,
because
the
height
is
not
really
the
issue.
The
issue
is
what
type
defense
she's
going
to
be
putting
in
and
how
she's
expected
to
utilize
this
to
get
in
and
out
of
it.
A
A
A
That
I'm,
aware
of
there
may
have
been
other
variants,
is
granted
but
I
since
I've
been
here,
I've
not
come
across
a
property.
That's
had
this
situation,
I've,
not
within
the
research
that
I
have
done.
Not
that
I've
looked
at
every
variance
that
this
boards
granted
I
would
not
be
able
to
do
my
job
if
I
had
to
spend
that
kind
of
time
on
on
that,
I
mean
you've
granted
a
lot
of
variances
over
the
years.
That
being
the
case,
I've
not
come
across
the
situation.
A
This
property
is
one
of
the
few
that
does
have
a
fence
variance
already
on
it.
It's
not
something
that
you
guys
see
on
a
regular
basis
and
I've
been
here
for
eight
months
now,
and
this
is
the
first
fence
request.
We've
had
most
of
your
variances
are
dimensional
requirement
issues
that
you
guys
deal
with.
A
Sure
say,
I
be
I'd,
be
glad
to
read
that
into
the
record.
Okay,
this
is
the
description
of
the
hardship
from
the
applicant.
My
house
is
located
right
on
the
corner
of
Keystone
road
and
Myers
lane
I
am
living
on
the
corner
on
a
corner
lot
open
to
Keystone
a
large
road
I
am
a
single
mom
with
a
five
year
old
child.
The
open
access
to
my
front
door
from
Keystone
road
traffic
makes
me
feel
unsafe.
Also,
there
is
an
abandoned
residential
construction
across
I.
A
A
I,
don't
know
that
she's
if
she's
actually
talked
to
the
police
department,
I
didn't
actually
pull
any
of
the
police
information
on
whether
she's
actually
called
in
or
that
type
of
thing.
But
I
do
know
that
the
police
are
aware
of
that
situation,
because
that
house
has
been
an
issue
for
some
time
with
issue
with
things
that
have
gone
on
there.
If.
G
A
A
Tell
that
when
you
went
out
to
the
property,
I
also
just
went
out
to
this
property
as
well,
because
of
that
great
change.
I
really
want
to
see
that
for
myself
to
understand
how
that
would
impact
this.
I
basically
stood
at
her
front
door.
You
know
to
get
that
idea
if
you
know
where
you're
going
you're
going
to
see
that
and
without
an
eight-foot
wall
in
front
of
this
house,
you're
not
going
to
the
intersection,
it's
not
going
to
matter,
you're
still
going
to
be
seeing
that
intersection.
There's
just
no
way
to
do
that.
A
G
D
A
I
F
C
A
We
can
out
what
I
can
do
is
take
your
comments
from
this
meeting
and
let
her
know
these
are
the
issues
that
you
had
concerns
over
that
you,
basically
you
have
voiced.
Issues
of
you
know,
security,
how
the
fence
is
going
to
work,
how
it's
going
to
operate
as
far
as
gates,
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
you
haven't
got
our
understanding
of
that
and
passed
along
to
her.
Whatever
she
provides
back
to
us
is
what
she
provides
back
to
us.
Unless
you
want
to
provide
an
itemized
list,
I.
G
C
G
I
G
C
B
A
24-
and
you
will
be
in
this
room-
I
will
be
at
citizens
Academy,
because
that
is
my
designated
night
to
present
its
citizens
academy,
but
Michelle
the
principal
planner
or
gave
Healy
the
consultant
that
works
with
us.
One
of
the
two
or
both
will
be
here
in
attendance
to
work
on
this
application,
and
we
I
think
we
have
one
more
potential
application
that
may
be
coming
forward
and
do.
