Russ Mitchell asked if the applicant will be taking down the existing chain link and barbed wire fence. Russ Mitchell also wants the applicant to extend the fence on the south side of the property at an angle so people can’t see into the yard.
Chairman Lepkowski said their hands are tied; the variance has already been granted.
