A shorter chain-link fence is permitted closest to the property line for safety rather than a solid stockade fence. George Mullen asked why the interior double-frontage lots could only build their fences in the back to building setback line. Tom Rettenbacher pointed out that the new ordinance was to give relief to corner lots. Some of the Commissioners thought that Plan B was inconsistent. The Commissioners wanted to deal with the whole issue and make it equitable for all lots. There was a motion by George Mullen to permit non-arterial street double-frontage lots to erect fences to the 3 foot rear property line, excluding the line of sight for both open and solid fences. The motion was seconded by Fred Geinosky and was carried unanimously. The Commission directed Robin Weaver to draft and send out the motion to discuss on June 15. A concerned citizen wanted more relief for double frontage lots on arterial streets and asked why he was not permitted to go to the front of his property. Chairman Glass considered this a good point. An additional motion was made by George Mullen to allow corner lots on major arterial streets to use sideyard to the front of their house, 3 feet for open and 10 feet for a solid fence. The motion was seconded by David Paliganoff, and was carried unanimously.
