Mr. J. Bartlett, 2292 Crestline Road, stated he felt that allowing this variance would set a precedent and that also it would make a poor aesthetic impact. Mrs. Liz Schiano rebutted the opponents by stating the fence was needed to en- close the property, lessen noise and reduce the litter problem. She stated she did not feel that corner lots should be penalized by not allowing a variance to the setback requirements. There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Council- member Butler, that Resolution No. 80-188, denying the appeal of Michael J. Schiano of a decision of the Board of Adjustment denying his application for a variance to allow the construction of a six foot high fence which would encroach into the re- quired setback of the property located at 5292 Hummingbird Road, be adopted.
