Chairman Glass iterated that it was the intention of the Plan Commission to make the fence regulation consistent throughout the Village. The issue of legal non-conforming fences that already exist would be handled if the regulation was passed, and the fence was unintentionally destroyed. Chairman Petri , of the JPZ, thought it would be an inconvenience for the resident to have to ask for a variation from the ZBA everytime this occurred. Clark Fulton (PC) felt that these fences were exceptions, and should be treated as exceptions. Tom Rettenbacher suggested that these exceptions could be heard in front of the Village Board. Chairman Petri advised that the Village Board might not have the time to handle all the cases. John Glass recommended that the regulation be phrased in a way that the Building Commissioner would be vested with authority to approve such exceptions during the permit process. Ed Hauser was concerned about driveway vision obstruction. Tom Rettenbacher stated that the 10 foot triangle line of sight supersedes all else. A consensus was taken, and the staff was directed to discuss with the Village Board on July 12 at their regular meeting.
