The hearing proceeded with an opening statement by Mr. Murphy representing Mr. Garrett. Mr. Murphy's opening statement included a short history of zoning ordinances, and how they afford some protection against non conformins situations. Mr. Murphy feels this request is a conformity, within the residential area where Vr. Garrett lives. Mr. Garrett has a fence on the south side of solid wood, of which this board has ~~anted a variance. Now he would like to build a synetrical fence on the north 1e to enhance his property. The second reason is, because of a barbed \nre fence approxi~ately h* feet hi~h. This 3 or 4 stran fence as seen on farms is an eyesore, as well as a hazard. This wooden fence would hide this fence. The barbed wire fence is on the property line and anyone hurt by this fence while on Mr. Garrett's property, Mr. Garrett would be liable. There also is the possibility of Mr. or Mrs. Garett being hurt by fall against this fence. This concludee :'ir.
