ZBA allows Weigl family to replace chain‑link fence with 6‑foot vinyl fence, reduces front‑yard setback
Summary
Johann Weigl received variances allowing replacement of an existing chain‑link fence with a 6‑foot vinyl fence and to connect the fence to the house (front‑yard setback reduced from 16.6 feet to 0 feet). The board approved the request unanimously with the usual Exhibit A condition.
Johann Weigl told the ZBA the existing chain‑link fence predated their purchase and that the family is not increasing the fenced area but simply replacing link with vinyl and connecting the fence to the house.
"They are not looking to increase only connect the existing fence to the house," the applicant said, describing the request as a like‑for‑like replacement intended to provide privacy for their children. After staff and commissioners asked clarifying questions and no public opposition was raised, the board voted unanimously to approve the variances, conditioned on substantial compliance with Exhibit A.
