roll call vote. Mrs. Holt stated if it is determined we
need a public hearing on this she will let the Planning d
Zoning Commission know.
B. Exception Request - RE: Fencing Height Limitation -
Greenup - Mrs. Holt read hir. Greenup's letter to the public
for their information. She noted that in an "R" district
you may have a fence height up to six feet, except for that
area from the setback line to front property line when the
fence may be no more than four feet high. Mr. Greenup stated
the reason he wanted a higher fence is that he is completely
surrounded by commercial zones and he wanted to put a higher
fence in so he will not be bothered by them. Mrs. Holt
stated that we cannot grant him an exception. She further
stated that we would have to change the Code in order to
grant his request. We could revise the ordinance so that
fence limitations and exceptions can be done by the P$Z
Committee and the Borough Assembly and the owners be contacted
to this respect. Mr. Terry stated there is a need for a
definite change and he moved that we keep the limitation in
The book but that particular limitations can be modified
on a case by case basis after submission of request to the
P$Z Committee and a public hearing should such hearing be
deemed necessary. Mz. I�elch stated that since we are plan-
ning to have a work session we can look over this section on
exceptions and fences. Mr. Erwin seconded the motion. Motion
Passed by nanimous roll call vote.
