I have attached our written comments regarding our objection to these variance requests as they would directly impact our property value and privacy for our 8-year old daughter. We are willing to be in favor of the variance request for the 8ft fence as it would provide privacy from tenants in the erected apartment building but object to the development of a four (4) story building.
