I am requesting an area variance to instaLt a 6-foot privacy fence in the front yard of my
property at 1946 Route 9D, Wappingers Fatis, NY 12590. Thii's request is bailsed on! safety,
health, and qualtity-of-tife concerns for myfarnity, not for aesthetic reasons.

and includes heavytrucks, traveling at high speeds throughout the day and n�ig�ht. I am
especially concerned about the safety of my two young children, ages 3 and 2, when they 11
are outdoors.
Additionally, my 3-year-old son is on the autism spectrum and is particuLarty sensitive to
Loud, unpredictabLe sounds. When trucks and vehicles pass, he often says, "too loud, too
loud" and becomes visibly ded. Despite replacing aU of ourwindows to reduce
interior noise, the sound continues to affect the fro:nt-facing rooms, nega;tiively impacting
our family's daiLy quaLity of Life.

next hamLet over. My request was denied, and the Town; of Wappinger also submitted a
similar request on my behaLf, which was Likewise denied. With no relief availabLe through
speed regulation, the only remaining option to improve our safety and reduce noise is the

already been confirmed and marked by a licensed land survey. PVC fencing, provides
greater durability a:nd sound reduction than traditional wood fencing, making it the most
eff ective choice for addressing both safety and noise concerns. The design will be clean,
weLL-maintained, and consistent with other fencing styles in the area.
Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration.
