Executive Summary
The subject property is located within the Lackland Terrace Subdivision, and built in 1960. The applicant has owned the home for more than 20 years and recently installed a five-foot wrought iron fence along the front yard. The home is directly across the street from a park and the applicant has experienced vandalism and trespass as a result. According to the application materials, the applicant's car has been tampered with, bedroom windows have been broken and plants have been stolen. The applicant installed the fencing to increase her security and protection. In addition, Westshire Drive is one of the few entrances into the subdivision from the Loop 410 access road and as such is heavily traveled.
