Patel 99 Anita Drive thank you could you explain to the board why you're here good evening chairman and board of the member I appreciate the opportunity to present my case tonight regarding six feet fans on my property when I
installed these fans I did I did so based on my contractor recommendation unfortunately I was not properly advised about the permit equirement or Township zoning laws had I known I would have appli for the variance beforehand now
the fair fans is up removing or modifying it would cause unnecessary final year hardship for me and my family especially given current situation my parents uh my parents my parents have
recently lost their job I am already going with the very tough time I purchased my house on May was not aware regarding the township specification for the fans regarding the corner lot this F
provide my family much needed privacy and security particularly because of my house is on corner lot which has more explos explosure than a interior lot this 6 ft fence help us to reduce the
visibility into my backyard also helps to prevent trespassing and theft additionally it ensur the safety of my family children who are alone in the backyard enjoying un close space
Additionally the fence does not obstruct the view of my neighbor or creating line of sight issue the intersection it bends up well with the neighborhood and my contractor even walk around the area before the install to ensure it was the in line
with the other properties I would resp respectfully ask to board to consider this my application for the variance thank you sir Jonathan J anything you might want to
here sure in addition to not obtaining a variance a permit was also not obtained uh regardless of the result of the board's decision tonight a permit will need to be sought uh I do dispute the fence is impacting the
intersection um and I think what we're what we're proposing a 17 resulting in a 17.2 foot setback when 40 is required is more than generous uh and if your contractor misled you um I I'd leave it
between you and your contractor to recover uh some of the costs incurred by making this change thank you Johnson yeah I'm in total agreement 40 is what the ordinance calls for I think 17 is more than generous and if indeed you were deceived
by your contractor Mr Patel that's something you could take up with him legally or have him move it at at at uh the cost to him um I see no hardship here unfortunately U does any other members of the board have any questions or comments they'd like to
make hearing none I'm G to open it to the public anyone in the public have any questions or comments about this application no one chairman okay close the public portion yeah Mr matella I I think that the compromise that the
Township's offering is um more than generous and uh I I got to read the room a little bit for you I'm going to tell you U if you don't um try and help help us out here with some type of um compensation here um I I don't think
your application will be voted on favorably uh chairman is there any other option because I'm losing my lots of space in my backyard there unfortunately we have ordinances for the specific reason and also like additionally that are many Coral law in around my
neighborhood has the same six feet fence on the property line they're they're not before this board tonight unfortunately I'll leave it I'll leave it up to you sir um I I do read the board very well and like I said like Jonathan said 40 feet is what we
normally um require 17 ft is all we're asking here and I I believe if you did go after your contract or legally he would be responsible for any cost that would be incurred to move the fence and Mr Patel as the board attorney I will
tell you that you're required to put certain legal proofs on the record in order to obtain a variance you have not done so therefore the board could be well within its rights to enforce the 40 foot setback the township is offering you a 17.2 foot setback which is much
better than the 40-foot setback thank you Jim Mr Patel I'll give you a minute or two just to mull it over before we we vote on this as a board okay [Music] what do you thinking
sir okay good it's a good decision okay uh I'd like to make a motion to approve this application with the changes set by uh Mr MRA and agreed upon by the applicant can I get a second I'll second
