A request for 1) a two foot variance from the maximum six foot rear yard privacy fence height, as described in Section 35-514, to allow an eight foot fence in the rear yard of the property and 2) a five foot variance from the maximum three foot tall front yard solid fence height limitation, also described in Section 35-514, to allow an eight foot tall fence in the front yard of the property.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 330 E Terra Alta Drive, approximately 612 feet west of New Braunfels Avenue. The subject property is developed on a flag lot and located nearly 160 feet from the street, behind another home. The home has previously benefited from a variance which reduced the setbacks for the homes development in coordination with BABA Support Our Troops, an organization dedicated to constructing homes for wounded war veterans. The fence serves to increase privacy for both the home owner and the neighbor affected by the flag lot design and will run along the northwest property line of the home. It is located in both the front and rear yards of the subject property.
