Opinion
In the Matter of John R. Davison et al., Appellants, v. Hammond Robertson et al., Constituting the Board of Appeals of the Town of Bethlehem, et al., Respondents.
[MAJORITY]
Petitioners applied for a special exception to a zoning ordinance permitting the maintenance of a fence. No special exception in the pertinent list sanctions petitioners’ fence. The relief, if any, which would be appropriate would be an application for a variance. The dismissal of the petition at Special Term, therefore, was justified. Order unanimously affirmed, without costs, and without prejudice to further appropriate application to the Zoning Board. Present — Bergan, P. J., Coon, Herlihy, Reynolds and Taylor, JJ.
