Mr. Lawson stated that the longest part of the fence between lots 72 & 73 had been applied for and permit # 2010-0063 had been issued.

The longest section of fence will be on the property line between the Roberts Lot #72 and the Sedita/Ketterer Lot #73 as indicated in item 1. of the letter. The fence will be wood split rail and the sections are mainly meant to identify the property lines. Mrs. Roberts said everyone who would be affected by the fence sections had signed a consent form which is attached to the application. She indicated they hope to install the fence within one to two months. She also said in the future she hopes to apply for two additional 20’ sections but they are not included because she was unable to contact the
