Zoning Variation — Docket #25-6, 924 Wilshire Ave
Chairman Childress called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and read a statement describing the hearing
notification procedure as well as the legal notice.
Section 3-3-B: (2) prohibits fences from being constructed beyond a line extended from the
nearest front corner of the principal building located on an adjacent single-family residential lot. The
petitioners are requesting to replace an existing five (5') foot high fence with a six (6') foot high fence, in
the same location, which will extend approximately twenty-eight (28') feet beyond the nearest front
corner of the principal structure on the adjacent single-family residential lot to the southwest at 321
Birchwood Avenue.
The petitioners, Ashley and Seth Bartuch (Owners of Record) were sworn in and asked to state their case
for requesting a zoning variation.
The petitioners stated they wanted to install a new six (6') foot fence in the same location as the current
fence, to maintain the established boundary, appearance, functionality and to provide a secure and
private environment for their pets and future family.
Chairman Childress opened the meeting to questions from the board.
Members Bookler, Fowler, Glimco, Latrofa, Rawleigh, Serrano and Spragg had no questions.
Chairman Childress stated that no sight line issues appear to conflict with the fence placement.
Chairman Childress asked if there were any additional comments or questions from the Members or the
public.
The Community Development Department stated they had received no phone calls or emails and had no
objection to the variation request.
Members had no additional questions.
There was no public in attendance.
Chairman Childress called for motion.

Avenue was made by Member Glimco and seconded by Member Latrofa.
Upon voting (AYES — Bookler, Childress, Fowler, Glimco, Latrofa, Rawleigh, Serrano and Spragg)
