Zoning Variation - Docket 96-15
Chairman Phillips called the meeting to order at 7: 00 p.m. and
summarized the legal notice for the hearing. Petitioner Mrs. Tracy
Mesh was sworn in by Chairman Phillips and asked to state her case.
Mrs. Mesh explained that the location of trees and telephone/cable T.V.
lines prevent the pool from being located behind the 25 foot setback.
Mrs. Mesh stated that locating the pool directly towards the rear of
the house would also not be desirable for the neighbors and their own
privacy. Mrs. Mesh further explained that the intent of their previous
fence variation was to create more recreational area for their family.
The Board asked numerous questions including how far west the
petitioner would be willing to place the proposed pool. Mr. Mesh
stated that he would be willing to place the pool 10 feet closer to the
house. Mr. Herrick noted that due to the proximately of the existing
fence in relation to the intersection of Tonne Road and Elk Grove
Boulevard, there exists a risk that a vehicle could possibly collide
into the fence and pool.
When asked for the opinion of the Department of Engineering and
Community Development, Mr. Zaucha stated that the intent of front yard
setbacks is to keep accessary structures a significant distance from
public streets and sidewalks. Mr. Zaucha also stated that unless it
was the specific intent of the previously granted fence variation to
provide room for a pool installation, the permitted fence should have
no bearing on the Board's decision.
Piease continue . . . . . . . . . . . .
At 7:38 p.m. , Mrs. McClelland motioned for a vote which was seconded by
Mr. Rodgers. The vote was unanimously in favor of not granting the
variation. The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Phillips at 7:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
