Executive Summary
The subject property is located within the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan on the corner of Mineral Spring Drive and Boulder Peak. After moving into the home in April 2014, the applicant replaced an old, broken fence with a new cedar fence. The applicant was cited by code enforcement for a fence built beyond standards. According to application materials, the applicant has experienced trespassing in her backyard pool. In addition, the applicant consulted her neighbor and gained support before construction of the fence. The applicant installed the fencing to increase her security and protection. In addition, the property has a sloping landscape requiring an increased fence height to ensure the fence is straight across the top.
