Swan Lake fence dispute and historic preservation enforcement
Summary
A landlord built a six-foot privacy fence in a Swan Lake historic district street yard without a permit, then sought approval after a code violation. Neighbors argued approving it would reward building first and asking later; the board agreed and affirmed the denial, leaving the owner free to resubmit a revised design.
