Commission closes case at 28 Frawley Road after inspector finds privacy barrier issue acceptable
Summary
Staff consulted the chief building official and concluded that a privacy barrier created by wooded yards is not a code violation; the commission voted to close the case.
The Housing Commission voted to close the enforcement item for 28 Frawley Road after staff reported consultation with the chief building official and the property—s family.
Staff said the neighbor—s use of wooded yards as a privacy barrier is not prohibited by the local code and that the property owner—s family had cleaned up debris identified in earlier inspections. The chief building official, Michael Howe, told staff not to push beyond what local code requires because a privacy barrier created by vegetation is permitted in that context.
Based on that guidance and on clean-up the property—s family performed, staff recommended closing the case; commissioners approved the motion to close.
