Mr. Timothy Fanning spoke regarding his request for a 8 foot fence. He described the unique slope of his property, and that building a 6 foot fence would not offer the adequate privacy for both his home and his neighbors. He is requesting the ability to erect an 8 foot fence on the North side of his property. He stated that he had spoken with his neighbors, and there were no objections to the 8 foot fence. Chairman Hood inquired if the 8 foot fence would be only on the North side of the property, and Mr. Fanning replied that it would be. City Manager Michael Smith stated that City Staff had no objection to the request for the taller fence, but had no authority to approve the fence, and it was the BZA's decision. Member Adkins asked Mr. Fanning if the 8 foot fence would stretch all of the way to the street, and he and the Code Enforcement officer, Johnny Burritt, replied it would not. The fence in the front would be two feet high, which was an approved height. Chairman Hood inquired if there were any easements to consider, and Mr. Burritt replied that there were not.
