Zoning Variation - Docket 99-2,
933 Jackson Circle
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Phillips at 7:30 PM and
the legal notice was read aloud.
The petitioner, Mr. John Rogers explained that approximately four
years ago Nerge Road was widened and raised approximately four
feet. The result negated the effectiveness of his existing six-
foot high fence in terms of its ability to screen the view of his
home and yard from the roadway, and its ability to block out
traffic noise. He explained that the existing fence is
approximately twenty years old and is due to be replaced.
Several board members explained that they had visited the property
and agreed that the existing fence provided no effective screening
or privacy. It was also pointed out that there was a swimming pool
in the petitioner's backyard, and that the entire length of fence
in this area along Nerge Road belongs to the petitioner.
Mr. Trudan explained that historically the Village did not permit
fences that were taller than six feet unless they were used as
screening, when screening was required by the ordinance.
The petitioner explained that the fencing located along Nerge Road
would be eight feet in height with the fencing located on the side
property lines being six feet in height.
A motion was made by Mr. Kaplan to grant the variation and seconded
by Mr. Rodgers. The motion was approved by unanimous vote.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:12 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
