Zoning Board of Appeals

ZBA to hear fence variance for Yeshiva on Greenfield Rd

The Oak Park Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a regular meeting with roll call, approval of the April 28 minutes, and one new business item. The board will consider a variance request from Lazer Freimark on behalf of Yeshiva Gedolah of Greater Detroit to replace an existing 6-foot chain-link fence at 24600 Greenfield Rd. that extends beyond the front building line, which is not allowed under Article 3, Division 1, Section 308.a. The applicant proposes a new 6-foot black-coated chain-link fence along the entire Greenfield Rd. frontage with arborvitae plantings as a landscape buffer.
