Request
A request for 1) an eight inch variance from the six foot maximum height limitation, as described in Section 35-514(d)(1), to allow a fence that is up to six feet and eight inches tall in the rear yard of the property and 2) a variance from the prohibition against corrugated or sheet metal as a fencing material, as described in Section 35-514(6)(d).
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 15218 Mineral Springs Drive approximately 121 feet southeast of Green Spring Drive. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction of a fence, which exceeds the six foot rear yard height limitation, by eight inches. In addition, the property owner was cited for using a metal fencing material which is prohibited by the Unified Development Code. The fence is located along the applicant's west property line. This property shares this west property line with the neighbor's rear property line. As such, as the fence also serves as the neighbor's rear yard fence, staff is advertising the request from the rear yard fence height limitation only. The fence, as constructed, does comply with all clear vision requirements. Staff finds that the fence contributes to an architectural theme that is consistent within this unique neighborhood.
