Council approves controversial fence and view blocking requests
In a recent government meeting, the council addressed several key agenda items, including variance requests and view blocking determinations for residential properties.

The meeting commenced with the approval of the consent agenda, followed by a variance request from Douglas Greenberg concerning his property at 310 Champion Drive. Greenberg sought permission to construct a fence that would encroach 25 feet into the golf course setback. The council discussed the request, noting the presence of a supportive letter from the golf club. After a brief public comment period, the council unanimously approved the variance.

Next, the council reviewed a view blocking determination for a new home at 101 Atlantic, owned by Kevin Daffer. Represented by neighbor Sharon Murphy, the request involved a proposed height of 22 feet, 6 inches. The council found no objections from the public and determined that the construction would not obstruct views, leading to a unanimous decision that view blocking was not an issue.

The final item discussed was another view blocking determination for a property at 616 Bermuda, owned by Chris and Robin McKenzie. The proposed structure would reach a height of 23.21 feet. The council noted two letters of opposition but acknowledged that the design of the house, which would be built below existing tree levels, would likely not impede views. After deliberation, the council agreed that the construction would not pose a view blocking concern.

Overall, the meeting reflected a collaborative approach to local development, with council members actively engaging with property owners and the community to address concerns and facilitate residential improvements.
