The board addressed two variance requests. The first request, regarding the placement of a dumpster and enclosure in the front yard at 1176 West Main Street, was approved. The second request, concerning the construction of a 10-foot tall wood privacy fence at 703 Nelson Court, was denied as the board deemed the requested height excessive.
