The minutes were tabled.
APPLICATION NO. 1 BONNIE BRIAR COUNTRY CLUB SITE PLAN FENCE
Benedict Salinitro, the applicant’s engineers, addressed the Board. Mr. Salinitro stated that the Club
would like to install a 4 foot high wood fence to visually block the course from the road, to stop the
garbage from blowing on to the course and to deter vandalism on the course. The fence would have a 3
foot high solid part with a 1 foot lattice topper. He explained that ivy would be planted and wild grass
seed would be cast on the Weaver Street side of the fence. He also stated that evergreen planting
would not survive the salt overspray from Weaver Street and would not be a good planting option on
the street side of the fence.
The Board had several concerns regarding the proposed wood fence. They felt that it would create a
maintenance issue as far as the painting and up keep. The Board members also voiced concerns that
the length of the fence un-landscaped on Weaver Street side would be stark. The Board discussed
allowing the Club to continue the Vinyl fence that already exists further south on Weaver Street.
After a brief adjournment and caucus the Board decided that to allow the vinyl fence in order to be
consistent with the existing fence. The Board also stated that the Club would have to move the fence
back far enough in order to sustain the proposed plantings along the Weaver Street side of the fence.

The Board also required plantings that would break up the long fence run and add verticality to the view
as motorist drive along Weaver Street.
A landscape architect must present the proposed landscaping plan addressing the Boards concerns at
the next meeting.
