Request
A request for 1) a special exception from the fence height regulations, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a fence to be 6' 4" tall in the front yard 2) a variance to allow corrugated metal as a fencing material, as described in Section 35-514, and 3) a 4' 8" variance from the minimum Clear Vision requirement of 15', as described in Section 35-514, to allow a front yard fence to be 10' 4" from the street.

Development Services Traffic reviewed the request and has stated the proposed layout has enough sight intersection distance and the traffic team does not see any clear vision issues. However, regarding the proposed gate, it does need to be evaluated in the future if vehicular traffic is seen jumping the existing curb.
