Residential Zoning Variation - Docket 95-13 - 1012 Alabama Drive
Chairman Phillips called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. and
summarized the legal notice for the hearing. Mary McMahon was sworn in
by Mr. Phillips and asked to state her case. Mrs. McMahon explained
that she mistakenly told the fence installers to place the fence in the
wrong place. she then stated that in a very short period of time, the
workers set the fence posts and completed the entire fence as
directed. Mrs. McMahon stated that she did not realize the fence had
extended beyond the 25 foot setback line.
A time line of events was then discussed. It was noted that the fence
permit was issued in July of 1994 and it wasn't until August of 1995
that the permit was picked-up and made active. It was also pointed out
that the fence had been in place for approximately a year and that
there was never a posthole or final inspection made until August of
1995.
It was then determined that the fence was built without actually having
an active permit, it was not installed according to the plans submitted
to the Village, and the fence contractor failed to call for a posthole
inspection or final inspection.
A recess was then called at 7 :55 by Chairman Phillips. At 8:04 the
hearing was called back to order.
Mr. Herrick motioned not to grant the variation, which was seconded by
Mrs. Zizzo. The vote was unanimously in favor of not granting the
variation for the following reasons:
1. The fence was in the wrong place.
2. The contractor did not follow approved plans.
3. There was never a posthole inspection requested
by the fence contractor.
The meeting was adjourned by chairman Phillips at 8:08 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
