Request
A request for 1) a three foot variance from the three foot front yard solid fence height limitation to allow a six foot tall wood fence along the south property line in the front yard; 2) a two foot variance from the four foot predominately open front yard fence height limitation, as described in Section 35-514 (d) to allow a six foot tall wrought-iron fence on the east and north property lines in the front yard of the property and 3) a request for a variance from the clear vision requirements to allow a six foot tall solid screen fence up to the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 627 N San Felipe Drive approximately 313 feet north of Blueridge Drive. The applicant is in violation of several UDC requirements. The subject property has a six foot tall wrought-iron fence along the front property line and along the north property line in the front yard of the property - this requires a two foot variance to remain. The applicant has a six foot tall wood privacy fence along the south property line in the front yard of the property - this requires a three foot variance to remain. Lastly, as the fence is located on the property line and immediately adjacent to the driveway, the fencing will also need a variance from the clear vision requirements to remain in place.
