Board of Adjuatment SeptemUer 8, 1986 Page 6 feet from the principal structure on the adjoining Lot. The variance request is to allow a 3.5 inch deviation from that at the rear of the adjoining structure and angling to a 9.5 incli variance at the front of the structure. k'earl Maddy summarized the staff report (see Variance File No. 34-86) and p:esented viewEoils of the property. Sharon Pope, the next-door neighbor at 10610 4th Dr. S.E., stated that when they purchased their property directly south of the applicant's they were concerned about their ability to move their trailer in and out of the backyard. They have had other discussions with the applicant in the past in whi.ch, she stated, tha[ he said he would not be putting in a fence. They also at one time requested to buy an additional six inches from the applicant but t�e refused. She stated that had they known earlier that their neighbor would be building a six-foot fence they probably would not have bough[ the house. Therefore, she requ�sted that [he variance be denied, although she feels the applicant should be allowed to build a fence 10 feet from their house. In response to a question from Ross Hoagland, Mrs. Pope indicated that [heir driveway is right on the ' property line, aud that in order to use the LO feet allowed to her by ordinance (i,e. to get their trailer into the back) they would have to use part of their neighbor's property, In response to ii question from the Board as to who had �uaranteed [hat they wovld have 10 feet on the side, she stated that this was promised by the developer, Yetc�. Herbert J. 0'Bryan[, the applicdnt, of 10604 4th Dr. S.E., stated that at one time he had approached his neighbors [he Papes and offered [o share the cost oi building a fence, an offer which they refused. Even after beginaing the variance applicatlon process, he has had several conversations with the Popes seeking to work out a mutually agreeable solution since the varianceprocess is expensive and time-cone--aiing, buC to no avail. Motion: Marie Sullivan moved to grant the variance as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Everett Miller. Ross Hoagland co�ented that this was an unfortunate situation which he would have prefcrred to see settled by negotiation. However, he feels that the applicant has as much rigt�t to build to the property line as does his neighbor. Vote: Unanimous in favor of granting [he variance.
