If the church wants a fence, they should be the one to put up the fence between the commercial properties. Properties of similar zoning need not have required buffers. And, on commercial corridors, like Bemiss Road, parallel drive paths between and among commercial properties makes less entry and exits on to the busy road, making the road safer.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<li>\r\n<a name=\"REZ-2022-17\" href=\"#REZ-2022-17\">\r\n5.b.
