SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE ORIGINAL MOTION. DO I HAVE A I MADE THE MOTION. SO I NEED A SECOND. SECOND. OKAY. MR. BRANT. YES, CHAIR. YES. MR. HORN. YES. 
          OKAY, THIS SEEMS REDUNDANT, BUT WE'LL DO IT ACCORDING TO HOYLE. SO RULES. ROBERT'S RULES OF 
          [D.1. Hear the appeal of Sky Eckel, property owner at 3320 Voeller Ave., Parcel #040-000400 for a variance to Section 1137.05 to encroach the front setback of 30’ along Dudley Ave. by 29 feet with a 48” chain link fence, for a total setback of 1 foot. ]
ORDER. OKAY. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WITH THE AMENDED AGENDA IS TO HEAR THE APPEAL OF SKY ECHO PROPERTY, OWNER OF 3320 VILAR AVENUE, PARCEL. 040000400 FOR A VARIANCE TO SECTION 1137 .05 TO ENCROACH THE FRONT SETBACK OF 12FT ALONG DUDLEY AVENUE BY 12FT, WITH A 48 INCH CHAIN LINK FENCE FOR TOTAL SETBACK OF ZERO FEET. AND I SEE WE HAVE. SKYE AND DAVID ECKLER. 
          WOULD YOU LIKE OR ECHO? EXCUSE ME, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT YOUR CASE? OKAY. HELLO. HI. I ASSUME YOU'RE SKYE. YES. I'M SKYE. YEAH. SO WE HAD A FENCE THERE FOR ACTUALLY 50 YEARS. I WAS ABLE TO DO SOME DIGGING, FIND OUT IT WAS PUT IN IN EITHER 74 OR 75. SO 50 YEARS. AND THEN WE REMOVED A FENCE. THE SAME 1 IN 2022. THEN JUST CLEANED UP THE YARD AND MADE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS. SO WE'RE WANTING TO PUT A NEW FENCE IN IN THE SAME PLACE, SAME CHAIN LINK, JUST DO A BLACK ONE AND JUST REPLACE IT BASICALLY IN THE SAME IN THE SAME PLACE. YES. OKAY, GREAT. YES. GOT A QUESTION, MISS SCOTT? HAVE WE CONTACTED THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND HAVE WE GOT ANY FEEDBACK? YES, WE HAVE. IN FACT, WE HEARD FROM TWO FOLKS. LET'S SEE. THE FIRST ONE IS. MR. JIM SMITH AT DUDLEY AND BUTLER AVENUE, AND HE LIVES DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PROPERTY. HE KNOWS THE HOMEOWNER AND HE KNEW THE FAMILY THERE, AND HE WAS JUST CONFUSED ABOUT THE WORDING OF THE VARIANCE. BUT AFTER WE CLARIFIED THAT, HE IS CALLED TO SAY THAT HE IS COMPLETELY SUPPORTIVE OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FENCE. AND THEN WE ALSO HEARD FROM MR. JEFF FILLINGER AT 3264 PARK STREET. HE LIVES ONE STREET OVER. HE SAYS HE PASSES BY THE HOUSE 
          [00:05:02]
TWICE EACH DAY. HE WANTED TO OFFER THREE POINTS IN SUPPORT OF THE VARIANCE, HE SAID. ALSO, AS A FORMER JACKSON TOWNSHIP BCA MEMBER, HE WAS JUST TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. BUT NUMBER ONE, HE SAID, THE HOME IS ON AN IRREGULAR LOT. MANY HOMES IN THE AREA HAVE THE SAME CHAIN LINK AND A SIMILAR AREA. THIS HOUSE HAD A CHAIN LINK FOR MANY YEARS, SO IN A SENSE IT'S A REPLACEMENT. AND NUMBER TWO, EVERY ALTERATION MADE BY THE ECHOLS MEETS OR EXCEEDS CODE AND APPEARANCE. AND NUMBER THREE, A FENCE MEETING CODE WOULD BE NOTHING BUT A DOG RUN, RIGHT. SO BOTH IN SUPPORT. GOOD, GOOD. THAT'S GREAT. YEAH. IT'S MOSTLY TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. I MEAN, THAT'S HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE? NUMBER ONE CONCERN TWO. OKAY. HOW OLD ARE THEY? ONE AND TWO. OH, YEAH. YEAH. THEY'RE FAST BECAUSE THEY THEY'RE VERY FAST. YES. SO YEAH. OUR KIDS SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE. OKAY. MR. GRANT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTION. MR. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION WHEN I BY LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE THE WOOD STAKES DOWN IN THE GROUND, WAS THAT JUST MARKING THE PROPERTY BECAUSE OR IS THAT. YEAH, WE HAD IT SURVEYED AND THAT'S OUR PROPERTY LINE. YEP. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. YEP. OKAY. OKAY THEN IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYONE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE APPEAL OF SKY ECHO PROPERTY OWNER OF 3320 VOLAR AVENUE, PARCEL NUMBER. 040-000400 FOR A VARIANCE TO SECTION 1137 .05 TO ENCROACH THE FRONT SETBACK OF 12FT ALONG DUDLEY BY 12FT WITH A 48 INCH A CHAIN LINK FENCE, FOR A TOTAL SETBACK OF ZERO FEET. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. 
          OKAY, MR. HUNT. SECONDS, MR. BRANT. YES, CHAIR. HELLINGA. YES, MR. HORN? YES. OKAY. YOUR VARIANCE IS APPROVED BY OUR COMMITTEE. BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN REVERSE OUR DECISION WITHIN 21 DAYS, WHICH VERY RARELY HAPPENS. IT DOES HAPPEN ONCE SINCE I WENT ON HERE FIVE YEARS. SO I DON'T SEE THAT AS A PROBLEM. BUT IF YOU DO ANYTHING IN LESS THAN 21 DAYS, YOU'RE AT RISK. SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS INTERESTING PARCEL NUMBER. IT'S VERY OLD PARCEL NUMBER. I'M NOT USED TO SEEING PARCELS THAT OLD. YEAH THAT'S A THAT'S AN OLDIE.

OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS. YEAH. ONCE YOU POINT SAID THAT I SEEN THE MARINE.

I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OUR JULY MEETING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR THE 28TH OF JULY. CORRECT. AND WE I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO CASES. OKAY, OKAY. YEAH.

OH, YOU WON'T BE HERE EITHER. OKAY, YOU MAY NOT. WE MAY HAVE TO MOVE THAT DATE IF WE DON'T HAVE. I'M OKAY. OKAY. I'M OKAY THE 21ST. DOES THAT GIVE US ENOUGH TIME? THERE'S A MONDAY BEFORE.
