Variance Request: To <br /> permit a 6' fence in the defined rear yard where 3.5 feet is allowed. <br /> Application Summary: The applicants seek approval of a height variance for a 6'privacy fence <br /> located in the rear yard of a lakeshore lot that does not abut a major thoroughfare. Rest Point Road <br /> is not a"major thoroughfare". As the fence exceeds the allowed 3.5' height, the code requires that <br /> it meet the rear yard setback of 30'. The applicant has designated on the survey the area requiring <br /> variance approval, a section beginning from the street lot line and continuing along the south east <br /> side lot line. The fence along the street lot line will not exceed 3.5'. Posts and some of the fence <br /> boards have already been installed. The City Building Official asked the applicant to cease all work <br /> until the necessary variance approvals were received. <br /> #2�73 David/Marti Blodgett <br /> Variance <br /> �1/17/2000 <br /> Page 1 <br />
