A homeowner should be granted a variance to build a fence higher than six feet only if the fence does not block a neighbor's view of the valley and the fence is made of natural wood.
Which one of the following situations conforms to the principle stated above?
- An applicant's request for an eight-foot wooden fence is turned down because the structure would cut off a neighbor's line of sight to the valley.
- A variance is granted because the neighbor has permanently moved away from the area and reportedly no longer cares at all about the valley view.
- Any wood fence that does not block a neighbor's view must automatically be approved whenever the homeowner asks for a height variance.
- A homeowner is granted a variance for a seven-foot natural-stone wall merely because it happens to be located directly behind the house.
- A seven-foot natural-wood fence that leaves the neighbor's valley view fully unobstructed is nonetheless refused a height variance.
