Zoning Variation— Docket #06-2— 395 Bianco Dr.
Chairman Kaplan called the meeting to order at 7:10 P.M. and read the
legal notice. The petitioner, David Frank, was sworn in and asked to
present the case.
Chairman Kaplan read a letter from Jeff Hastings of 393 Bianco Drive
which expressed support for the proposed variation.
Mr. Frank explained that it was his intention to install the proposed fence at
the same location of the existing chain link fence. He stated that the new
six foot fence would be required to provide adequate protection for his new
above ground swimming pool. He also explained that the fence would
align nicely with the lines and location of the house and that a fence
constructed in accordance with the current zoning regulations would look
awkward and also require him to remove a significant amount of mature
landscaping.
Mr. Meister asked if the existing fence needed to be replaced and added
that a barrier constructed around the pool area would be permitted by
code. Mr. Frank stated that the existing fence was approximately 30 years
old and that it could be replaced for less money than the pool enclosure
would cost.
Mr. Meister asked if the new privacy fence would block the vision of his
neighbors when backing a car out of the driveway. Mr. Frank said it would
not block their vision.
Mr. Childress asked if any of the neighbors expressed an opinion about the
proposed variation. Mr. Frank said that everyone he talked to was in favor
of the variation.
Mr. Walz asked what type of fence would be constructed. Mr. Frank said it
would be a cedar privacy fence and added that he wanted the privacy
fence to provide better protection for the yard.
Mr. Oliveto asked if the new fence would match the existing privacy fence
located along the rear of the property. Mr. Frank said it would be similar.
A motion was made by Mr. Rodgers to grant the variation as presented.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Oliveto and passed by unanimous vote.
The petitioner was directed by Mr. Kaplan to contact the Village Clerk to
confirm which Village Board meeting they should attend for final approval.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
