DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING THE REQUEST FOR WAIVER TO
FENCE ORDINANCE 99-01 FOR FENCES AT:
A. 301 Madeline Cove (Plantation Homes)
This property has a fence built correctly; however, the waiver is for the fence to be moved to an
incorrect position, because other property owners in the subdivision have built their fences at
incorrect positions.
It was requested at a previous meeting that the owner of the property at 301 Madeline Cove
provide more information regarding the utilities. It was requested that the utilities be routed
around where the pool was intended to go. The homeowner also mentioned that the fence
would be placed like the other (11) fences in the neighborhood.
Discussion was held as to why so many fences were not being placed according to the fence
ordinance.
The fence waiver is being requested in order to move this property's fence to the same locations
as the other fences in the neighborhood, and to give the homeowner the full amount of backyard
space he expected when he bought the home. To address the question of whether the pool
could fit inside the fence that is currently built, it would be right up against the house, with no
mobility around the pool.

Commissioner Williams moved to approve the fence waiver. Commissioner Cotton seconded.
After discussion, Commissioner Williams moved to amend his motion that the fence be moved
out and replaced with ornamental iron. Commissioner Cotton seconded; the motion failed by a
vote of two to five, with Commissioners Williams and Cotton voting for and Commissioners
Hamper, Gilliand, Reed, Schaaf and Hill voting against.
Commissioner Schaaf made a motion to recommend to the Town Council that they deny the
waiver. Commissioner Gilliand seconded; motion failed by a vote of three to four, with
Commissioners Cotton, Gilliand, and Schaaf voting for and Commissioners Williams, Hamper,
Hill and Reed voting against.
Commissioner Williams made the motion to recommend to the Town Council that they grant the
waiver requested. Commissioner Cotton seconded; motion passed by a vote of five to two with
Commissioners Hamper, Cotton, Williams, Hill and Reed voting for and Commissioners Schaaf
and Gilliand voting against.
It was the consensus of the Commission that a letter be sent to all homeowners who are not in
compliance with the fence ordinance, informing them that they are required to get a permit and
they are required to either get into compliance or request a waiver.
B. 201 Parkview Drive (Highland Homes)

C. 507 Briarwood Court (Drees Homes)
In this particular case, the builder was notified that this fence was in an incorrect position, and
the homeowner purchased the home knowing that the fence may have been moved.
Mr. Van Houten, owner, addressed the Commission.
Commissioner Gilliand moved to recommend to the Town Council that this waiver be denied.
Commissioner Cotton seconded; motion passed by a vote of five to two with Commissioners
