Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5747 Broken Lance Drive, approximately 620 feet west of Running Horse Drive. The applicant is seeking a two foot variance from the six foot maximum front yard, predominately open fence height to allow for the construction of a six foot tall chain link fence.
