Request
A request for a two foot variance from the Ingram Hills Neighborhood Conservation District's design guidelines four foot limitation on front yard fencing, as found within the Residential Design Standards section of the NCD, to allow a six foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4211 E Horseshoe Bend approximately 658 feet south of Callaghan Road. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow for the construction of a six foot tall, wrought iron fence in the front yard of the property. Ordinarily, the applicant would be permitted this fencing type by right as the property qualifies as a residential estate lot. Residential estate lots must be 20,000 square feet or larger, contain 100 feet of frontage, and the primary dwelling must be located at least 40 feet back from the property line. The subject property is 26,850 square feet in area, has 179 feet of frontage, and the dwelling is located 44 feet from the property line. The Ingram Hills Neighborhood Conservation only permits front yard fencing on lots zoned "RE" Residential Estate or "R-20" Residential single-family, which the subject property is. However, the NCD design guidelines further stipulate that front yard fencing shall not exceed four feet in height. When the current owner purchased the home in July of 2012, the previous owner had already installed the wrought iron columns in the front yard, but never finished the fence. As such, the applicant is seeking a variance to allow for the completion of a six foot tall, wrought iron fence in the front yard of the property.
