Request
A request for a four foot variance from the three foot maximum front yard solid fence height, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a seven foot tall wall in the front yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 11105 Vance Jackson Road approximately 107 feet southeast of River East Road. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow a seven foot tall wall to remain along the front property line. The existing wall was constructed shortly after the applicant purchased the home in the Summer of 2011. The applicant had the fence constructed as a means to mitigate noise stemming from the highly travelled Vance Jackson Road. During field visits, staff noted the presence of similar fencing throughout this community.
