Request
A request for a variance from the prohibition against sheet metal for use in fencing, as described in Section 35-514(a)(6)(d), to allow an 8 foot sheet metal fence in the rear yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5902 Monica Place approximately 286 feet south of Melissa Sue Drive. When the subdivision was initially built it was fenced in along the perimeter by an eight foot tall wooden privacy fence; this fence type and height is permitted by Section 35-514(g)2 "Residential Subdivision Perimeter Fencing". Over the years, the fence had fallen into disrepair, largely due to its age. The homeowner wanted to replace the fence with a new and more durable fence. The fence was built at eight feet tall along the rear property line and at six feet tall along the south property line with their neighbor, in the rear yard only. The fence has been built without the benefit of a fence permit and has been constructed of corrugated metal, a material prohibited by the Unified Development Code.
