Board retroactively approves 7‑foot fence and 6‑foot 'shower' screening after lot‑line adjustment at 6 Mountain
Summary
Following a lot‑line adjustment and sale, owners of 6 Mountain Street received retroactive approval for a new fence along the adjusted property line that includes a 6‑foot lattice 'shower' screening element and a 7‑foot main fence section; neighbors reportedly consented.
Scott Graham Hanke said he and his wife built a fence along a newly adjusted property line and are seeking retroactive approval, including a lattice‑topped screening element the applicants call a 'shower.' Hanke said the fence was modeled on previously approved fencing and that neighbors are comfortable with the work; he described a dry well and stone patio behind the fence for stormwater management.
Board members asked about height; Hanke said the shower portion is 6 feet and the main fence is 7 feet tall, and that the fence matches what was previously approved in 2020. The board discussed side treatments and the "good side" orientation; testimony closed and the board approved the application retroactively.
