Applicant was asked to remove a 20’ x 8’ 4" shed at the lakeside of his property, because of hardcover excesses. In the process of removing the shed, the existing privacy fencing along the west/public access side of the property was exposed and found to be ir a severely deteriorated condition. Applicant replaced fencing without a building permit and has reinstalled vines and plantings on both sides of privacy fence. Review Exhibit E, many of the adjacent neighbors reaffirmed the need to replace the former fencing because of its dilapidated condition and potential for collapse. Refer to Exhibit H, hatch marks along the west lot line locate the privacy fencing that nad existed on the property. The new fence is installed within the same location except for an approximate 5’ section that has been installed parallel to the shoreline. Applicants have advised that this has helped to discourage the younger users of the public access from trespa.ssing into their property. The former shed had served th-s purpose in the past.
