Neighbor objections follow fence‑setback request at 102 Hartwig; board hears but record shows no vote
Summary
Kevin Munson asked to replace a long‑standing fence at 102 Hartwig in its existing location; neighbors objected, citing prior denials and concerns about window well access and moving the fence closer to adjacent houses. The hearing continued with requests for copies of neighbor letters; no final board action appears in the provided transcript.
At the April 28 meeting the Board of Adjustment heard a fence setback request from Kevin Munson, who said he wants to replace an existing fence in the same location at 102 Hartwig Avenue on a narrow back‑to‑back corner lot.
Staff explained that corner lots carry different fence restrictions and that both adjoining properties have longstanding fences. Munson said the fence has been in place about 20 years and that replacing it without moving it farther into the yard is necessary because his lot is only 50 feet wide; he also said three neighbors provided letters supporting the replacement.
A neighbor, Kathy Henry, speaking for an adjacent homeowner, said a similar request was denied last year because it interfered with a window well and access; she objected that the current proposal would move the fence closer to the neighbor’s house and said she had expected a like‑for‑like replacement. The board requested a copy of the neighbors’ letters for the record. The provided transcript ends with continued questioning and objection; no motion or vote on the fence request is recorded in the available excerpt.
The matter remains under consideration in the meeting record provided.
