The following exhibits were marked: A-1 Application A-2 Survey A-3 Survey with Fence 2  A-4 Denial Form A-5 Zoning Review Form A-6 Six Photos A-7 Building Plan Mr. Petruccelli noted that the site is on a corner lot and as such only a 4 ft. fence is allowed. He would like to put up a 6 ft. fence for privacy and security purposes for his one year old son. They currently have a chain link fence that does not offer privacy or security. The proposed fence would offer no obstruction of view of incoming traffic. Mr. Mysliwiec noted that on corner property there are two requirements. Due to the orientation of the house behind it, which fronts W. Prospect Street, it changes the ruling to 4 ft. Mr. Walsh expressed concern with visibility, however, appreciates the Applicant’s need for security and privacy for his family. Mr. Myerjack questioned the impact the fence would have on the neighbor backing out of his driveway. Mr. Petruccelli noted that he has spoken to his neighbor of his plan and his neighbor supports it.
