Mr. Ellis said he had not measured it, but he wanted his fence the same distance from the curb as the one to the east of him. He said it looked like it would be about 7 feet. . Mr. Rice said Mr. Ellis's request is the same as the ones the Board approved last month along Maplewood. Mr. Fenimore asked how close to the house would he agree to putting the fence. Mr. Ellis said he would like to have at least enough space to put a gate. Mr. Fenimore asked how this house got finaled without putting in a sidewalk. Mr. Rice said it was just an oversight. Mr. Fenimore asked if there was any way the city could force the builder to put the sidewalk in now. Mr. Rice said there was no way the city could force the builder to put it in now, but the city could require the property owner to put the sidewalk in before a permit is issued for a fence or any kind of construction or remodeling on the property. . ~ Page 3 Z B A Minutes August 11, 1983 .
