Addendum to Abington Township Application to the Zoning Hearing Board
The retaining wall is over 48 inches and requires an approval by the zoning hearing board of
6.
Abington Township for the completion of the wall. May 2016 I, Bryan Keenan of 2005 Fortune Road,
Glenside, PA 19038 did apply and was granted a permit for my retaining wall up to 48 inches. Upon
construction of the retaining wall and the grade of my lawn, I surpassed the 48 inches due to the fact
the grade of my lawn at the 48 inch mark would still have a steep slope a would not be a level and safe
play area for my children.
8.
The reasoning I would like the board to approve my application for my retaining wall are as
followed
•
Safety of my Children
o
Balls and other toys rolling down the slope of my back yard on to Fortune Road could
result in injury. (Falling down the hill and hitting the sidewalk or even a getting a hit by a
car)
o
Fortune Rd is used as a cut through between Jenkintown Road & Highland Ave so I don't
feel comfortable for the children to play in the street.
•
Privacy
o
The wall with a fence will allow my family and I to enjoy sitting on our outside deck
enjoying dinner and other family gatherings that we host in a private setting.
