Applicant disputes 'through lot' finding in 190 Sage Street fence hearing; board recesses
Summary
Jennifer Satinski argued her lot at 190 Sage Street is not a 'through lot' and presented a neighbor letter in support of a six-foot front-yard chain-link fence; the hearing closed with no decision recorded in the transcript and the board recessed.
The board heard an application for area variances to allow a six-foot chain-link fence in the front yard at 190 Sage Street and spent time on whether the parcel qualifies as a 'through lot.'
Applicant Jennifer Satinski said the rear of her lot fronts a private drive and that a previous 2021 permit allowed a six-foot fence; she asked the board to recognize that the lot is not a through lot and presented a letter from adjacent neighbors supporting the request. The clerk noted for the record that the board received a signed letter from neighbors Barbara and Christopher Nichols in support.
Board members asked questions about whether the rear area fronts a public street; the applicant maintained the back does not front a public street. No one appeared in opposition. The hearing was closed and the board went into recess; no final vote on the fence was recorded in this portion of the transcript.
Why it matters: a through-lot designation affects where fencing is allowed and whether a variance is required, so the board's interpretation will determine the applicant's ability to extend a six-foot fence along the lot frontage.
