SPECIAL MEETING - MINUTES
Friday , February 19 , 1993 9 : 30 A .M.
Chairman Guy Galizia called this Special Meeting to order in Commission
Chambers at 9 : 30 , noting its purpose was :
REVIEW REQUEST FOR FENCE AT 4201 TRANQUILITY DR . , BLOCK 5 ,
LOT 11 , BEL LIDO . SUBMITTED BY JOSE ANDREU , OWNER .
Deputy Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the role . In addition to the
Chairman , Vice Chair Elvine Gordon was present , as were Members Paul
Heetmann , John W. Littlejohn , Doris Perrone . Frank Arenella and Eugene
I . Behrman .
Also present were Building Official Lee Leffingwell and members of the
general public .
Owner Jose Andreu addressed the members , saying the fence would not
cover the entire southern length of the property to the street , rather
it would be 75 ' in length , extending to the rear of the property in
order to ensure privacy , particularly for the pool area . Since there
rt.% was no Code requirements to the contrary , Mr . Andreu was proposing to
place the fence 1 " from the property line .
Andre Martinovic of 4203 Tranquility Drive , Mr . Andreu ' s neighbor to
the south , next addressed the members , saying he opposed the type of
fence proposed ; he purported this kind of fence was used mainly to
separate properties from a main thoroughfare . He was also concerned
that the 1 " placement would interfere with ficus hedging he had planted
on th property line , with , he said , Mr . Andreu ' agreement .
During the course of ensuing dicussion , it was made known that there
had been animosity between Messrs . Andreu and Martinovic regarding the
placement of Mr . Andreu ' s pool deck . It was also disclosed that the
Board of Adjustment had recently denied Mr . Andreu ' s petition to allow
the deck to remain 1 ' from the property line instead of the required
4 ' .
Regarding the type of fencing Mr . Andreu had selected , Building
Official Leffingwell advised it met all Code requirements .
The members and Ms . Leffingwell encouraged a conciliatory stance on the
part of the neighbors , suggesting that each allow for some leeway to
the other . In conclusion , Mr . Andreu agreed to place his fence ( face
of post) 3 " from the property line and Mr . Martinovic agreed to
relocate his ficus hedging 3" from the property line .
