Executive Summary
The subject property is located within the Barclay Square Subdivision, and includes a half acre lot with a 2,000 square foot home. The plat shows the grades along the block 40 feet in elevation. This grade change is particularly dramatic between his house and the neighboring lot, which is 6 feet higher than his. In addition, a business park is located directly behind the block and is zoned "O-2" Office. According to the application, his home has been burglarized twice since 2008, and deer destroy his landscaping. For these reasons, the applicant installed an 8 foot privacy-fence around his entire rear yard without a building permit. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction without a building permit.
