Security of the property and safe operation of the facility, <br />however, may be considered in this regard. <br />Conclusion: <br />The Zoning Board of Adjustment's final consideration is whether granting <br />this request observes the spirit of the ordinance. Based on the facts noted in <br />this report, the applicant's request appears to be contrary with the spirit of <br />the ordinance. <br />The Board may consider: <br />➢ Granting the variance and allowing the fence to remain on the <br />property line in the front yard setback with the stipulation that a City <br />permit is obtained at double the normal fee as allowed by the <br />building code for non -permitted work. <br />➢ Denying the variance thereby causing removal of the front yard <br />fence. <br />Appeals: As per Section 106-196 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of LaPorte: <br />Any person or persons, jointly or severally, aggrieved by any decision of the <br />Board of Adjustment, or any taxpayer, or any officer, department, board or <br />bureau of the city may present to a court of record a petition for a writ of <br />certiorari, as provided by V.T.C.A., Local Government Code Section <br />211.011, duly verified, setting forth that such decision is illegal, in whole or <br />in part, specifying the grounds of the illegality.
