Request
A request for 1) a two foot variance from the four foot maximum fence height in the front yard, as described in Section 35-514 (d), to allow a six foot fence and 2) a four foot variance from the maximum four foot fence height, as described in Section 35-514 (d), in the front yard to allow an eight foot tall gate.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 2302 & 2304 Santa Barbra approximately 245 feet East of Fredericksburg Road. The applicant constructed a six foot tall wrought-iron fence in the front yard of the property. The fence was constructed to protect the family and their property as, per the applicant; she has experienced theft in the past. Staff found several other homes within the community with similar front yard fences. However, a gate height, twice the permitted height, is not common within the neighborhood and is not in keeping with the character of the community.
