Acting Chairman Paul Kaplan called the meeting to order at 7:00
P.M. and summarized the legal notice for the hearing. Petitioner,
Mr. Walter Janusch was sworn .in and asked to state his case.
Mr. Janusch explained that he wishes to erect a fence to allow
space for his large dog, which currently is kept on a chain. Mr.
Janusch indicated that he is willing to locate sections #3 and #4
of the fence, as shown on the proposed site plan, as close as
possible to bushes which exist along the northeast side of the
subject property. Mr. Janusch indicated the fence would be located
on the side of the bushes facing the neighbors.
Mr. Hauser asked what type of fence is being proposed. Mr. Janusch
responded a five-foot tall wood picket fence. Mr. Hauser asked if
any neighbors have expressed concern over the fence being
installed. Mr. Janusch responded, no.
Mr. Oliveto expressed concern over the fence being located too
close to the neighboring property. Mr. Janusch indicated his
neighbor has shown no objections to the fence being installed.
Mr. Steve Andolino of 1444 James Court indicated he has no problems
with the fence, provided it .is screened from view with bushes.
Mrs. Barbara Marquez of 1436 Hodlmair Lane asked if an approval
would set a precedent for future variances. Mr. Kaplan explained
that each variation request is reviewed on an individual basis.
Mr. Robert Benak of 1424 Hodlmair asked to see the proposed site
plan, which was then made available.

announced that the meeting would be continued to a later date. The
petitioner was instructed to explore available options and return
with a clearly defined proposal for consideration. The meeting was
