The Johnson's brought the case before the MI-nor Variance Board on <br />14 July 1980 to request a variance to retain the six foot bigh fence on <br />the property line. The Minor Variance 'Board recommended denial of the <br />request. The Minor Variance Board noted that the fence could be moved <br />back to the required 30 foot setback line or left in 'Its present positiorX <br />and cut down to the 311 foot he-ight maximum. <br />3. The Johnson's are now bringing the request before the Planning Commiss, <br />I ion <br />based on the hardship that the fence is already in place.. The fence was <br />installed in order to contain the applicant's two dogs and to provide <br />screening from traffic along County Road D. Relocating the fence would <br />involve considerable time, effort, and expense. <br />4 <br />A.
