Request
A request for a 1.5 foot variance from the maximum 6 foot maximum rear yard fence height, as described in Section 35-514 (d), to allow a 7.5 foot tall fence in the rear yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the mixed residential neighborhood behind the commercial businesses along Loop 410. It was platted as the Summit North Townhouse Subdivision in 1976 and the home was built in 1977. The Glen Oaks Park Unit #7 plat, a single-family residential project to the north, was recorded before this one in 1965. This subdivision included a stub street aimed directly at this property for future connectivity, but the street connection was not required during the townhouse plat review. According to the applicant, this stub street creates a unique circumstance which contributes to her need for the variance. In addition, the Glen Oaks Park neighborhood has fenced off a 16 foot wide utility easement which appears to be an unkempt alley between the two projects. This alley also detracts from the applicant's sense of security and privacy. The applicant also has a swimming pool in the rear yard, triggering the need for additional security measures.
