Public hearing opened, then continued for fence variance at 9234 91st Place after notice gap
Summary
Applicant Daniel Price asked to place a 4-foot aluminum fence 18 inches from the sidewalk on a corner lot at 9234 91st Place; planning staff told the board the adjoining-owner notice list was incomplete and the board opened the hearing but continued the item to Feb. 4 to allow for additional notifications.
The St John Town Zoning Board of Appeals opened a public hearing on a developmental variance request from Daniel Price but continued the matter to the board’s February 4 meeting after staff identified incomplete adjacent-owner notices.
Planning staff advised the board that Daniel Price had provided proof of publication but that the list of adjoining property owners used for mailed notice was missing entries. Planning staff recommended opening the public hearing so the applicant could present, but continuing the hearing and not closing it until missing adjoining letters had been sent and the February hearing could be held.
Daniel Price described the requested variance as permission to install a 4-foot aluminum, see-through fence on the northeast/corner side of his property at 9234 91st Place, positioned about 18 inches from the sidewalk and intended primarily to create a safer, flatter backyard area for his grandchildren and family uses. He said the requested area amounts to roughly 450 square feet of additional usable yard and described drainage constraints on the west side of his lot that make the proposed layout practical. He also noted the fence would be transparent and would not obstruct sight lines.
No members of the public spoke during the open portion of the hearing. A board member moved to continue the public hearing, explicitly keeping the hearing open for the February 4 meeting to allow staff and the applicant to notify missing adjoining owners; the motion was seconded and passed by a 3–0 vote.
The item will return to the board on Feb. 4 with additional mailed notices to adjoining owners, per staff direction.
