Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda <br /> <br />None. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />5. Planning Cases <br /> <br />A. VR2014-002 Consideration of a Variance for 8-foot Fence in Second Front <br />Yard of a Corner Lot <br /> Applicant: Michael Winkel <br /> Address: 7701 Bona Road <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller indicated the applicant, Mike Winkel, is requesting a variance to <br />install an 8-foot tall fence in the “second front yard” of his corner lot located at 7701 Bona Road. <br />She explained the property is located at the southeast corner of Bona Road and County Road I. <br />Since two streets border corner lots, they have two front yards. As such, the City Code <br />requirement for front yard applies to two sides of the property, which means that corner lots have <br />additional limitations. The Zoning Code indicates that no fence in front of the front line of a <br />building in a residential district may exceed four feet in height. The applicant would prefer to <br />have an 8-foot tall wood fence for screening from County Road I since his yard is a little lower <br />than the sidewalk, and thus has applied for the variance. Staff had no objection to the proposed <br />variance and recommended the Commission approve the variance. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Schiltgen opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. <br /> <br />Michael Winkel, 7701 Bona Road, thanked the Commission for considering his request and <br />thanked staff for their assistance with this matter. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Schiltgen questioned when the fence would be installed. <br /> <br />Mr. Winkel anticipated that the fence would be replaced in the next two or three weeks. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Schiltgen closed the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Carvelli-Yu/Commissioner Birken. To approve Resolution <br />1003-14, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Variance for an 8-foot Fence in Second <br />Front Yard of a Corner Lot; Planning Case No. VR2014-002. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />B.
