chairman Inzerello called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and read
aloud the Legal Notice for Docket 94-7, petition for Residential Zoning
Variation, 97 Keswick.
Mrs. Starr owner of 97 Keswick explained the reason for seeking the
variation to place a solid fence seven(7) feet into the required
ten(10) foot set back on corner lot was to insure added safety for her
four(4) small children. Mrs. Starr stated that with increased traffic
in the area coupled with some of her children having the ability to
climb a chain link fence, her only alternative was to put up a solid
fence.
Chairman Inzerello then opened the floor to any Board member or Mr.
Ray. The Board asked exactly where was the fence going to be put up
and Mr. Ray asked what type andhow high.
Mrs. Starr answered by saying that the fence would be from the side of
her house to the bushes and not along the sidewalk down the side of the
bushes. she also stated that the fence would be board on board and
would be four(4) feet high.
At that time there were no further questions, to which Chairman
Inzerello opened the floor to anybody else who would like to be heard.
Mr. Howard of 816 Brantwood first spoke and said he was against it
because the Starr's do not take care of the their bushes along the
sidewalk and what makes anyone think they' ll take care of a fence.
Mrs. Wadel of 900 Brantwood then spoke and said she was for it because
she understood the Starr's dilemma with small children and if put up
right would not look bad.
Chairman Inzerello then asked one last time if anybody wanted to add
anything else.
Mr. Ray asked the Starr-s how a four (4) foot fence would stop children .
from getting over, and then asked how the fence would be - tied to the
bushes preventing the children from squeezing through.
The Starrs replied that if need be they would go to a five (5) foot
fence then tie that fence to the bushes with chicken wire.
Chairman Inzerello asked for a motion.
A motion was made by Mr. Keegan and seconded by Mr. Oliveto not to
grant the variation. The motion was passed by a four to one vote.
(Mrs. Prochno voted to grant variation. )
Before leaving the Starrs asked the Board why? Since they felt they
had not been given a reason. Chairman Inzerello said that was the
decision of the Board and asked if anybody would like to add to that.
Mrs. Zizzo said she understood their reason but felt the Starrs had
other options (bushes and/or six(6) foot chain link) that would fall
within the zoning ordinance and also insure safety for her family.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
