Request
A request for a two foot variance from the six foot maximum rear yard fence height, as described in Section 35-514 (d), to allow an eight foot fence, in the rear yard of the property, to remain.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5918 Deer Horn approximately 715 feet east of Warpath Drive. The applicant is seeking a two foot variance to allow an eight foot fence on the rear property line. The fence was constructed on top of an 18 inch concrete wall. As per the applicant, the lot slopes significantly toward the home and, due to the significant changes of topography within the property, storm water runoff has caused damage to the applicant's home. Staff finds the additional height is hardly visible from the street and the overall design of the fence enhances the neighborhood.
