Mr. Boisjolie was <br />apparently granted a "permit" to build a six-foot fence around his <br />property in violation of the County Ordinance which restricts height for <br />some sections of the fence to no more than five feet. This "permit" was <br />granted by some person "at the secretarial level" in the Community Devel- <br />opment Department and the matter was not referred to the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission until after the fence was two-thirds built and cries <br />of outrage were heard from Mr. Boisjolie's neighbors. <br />It should be understood that this is not an attractive fence. It is <br />six feet high,.a stockade fence of the industrial type. It is weather - <br />stained and unpainted. It does not remotely resemble any other structure <br />erected in our community. The overwhelming consensus of the community is <br />that the fence is an eyesore. <br />Their reason was apparently that <br />n s discusses visual compatibility <br />only in the sense of height above five feet. Therefore, any fence of <br />five feet or less in height cannot be considered as visually incompatible <br />no matter what may be the materials, design or finished appearance. From <br />this, it was only a step for them to conclude that one extra foot added <br />to a fence that was visually compatible could not possibly make it visually <br />incompatible. If all this sounds like nonsense to you, you have plenty of <br />company. He feel the same way. <br />Our position is that we are being victimized by a very ugly fence which <br />is totally out of character with the community which is being developed. <br />Because the County officials mishandled the original approval application, <br />we had no opportunity to protest the fence prior to is partial erection -- <br />as was our right. <br />We, therefore, request that you reverse the decision of the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission and dissapprove Mr. Boisjolie's application for a minor <br />site plan approval. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Richard H.
