Request
A request for a 16 inch variance from the maximum 4 foot front yard fence height, as described in 35-514 (d) to allow a 5 foot 4 inch predominately open fence in the front yard.
Executive Summary
The applicant installed a 5 foot 4 inch tall wrought iron fence within the front yard and was cited by Code Enforcement. According to the applicant, the taller fence was necessary to protect their three small children who like to play in the front yard. In addition, they state that their street is heavily traveled (over 3,000 trips per day) and the fence increases their sense of safety. The UDC currently limits fencing in the front yard to a height of 4 feet, though the Board has recommended increasing the permitted height to 5 feet in the proposed UDC amendment process.
