Request
A request for a one foot variance from the four foot maximum front yard, predominately open fence height, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a five foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 1314 W Theo Avenue approximately 158 feet west of Charlotte Street. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow a five foot tall, wrought iron fence to remain in the front yard of the property. The applicant was unaware that a permit needed to be secured prior to the construction of the fence and was cited by a code enforcement officer. The fence was built to protect the home and family from criminal activity and the applicant states that a neighboring property was broken into with the family held at gunpoint; this acted as the catalyst to install the fence.
