Request
A request for 2 foot variance from the maximum 6 foot fence height, as described in Section 35-314(d), to allow an 8 foot wall in the rear yard.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4131 Cliff Oaks approximately 500 feet south of Fredericksburg Road. The Fifty Five Fifty Five Fredericksburg Planned Unit Development (PUD) was created in February 1991. According to Section 35-314 (b), Planned Unit Developments have the option to designate side and rear yard fences be built up to eight feet. However, the Fifty Five Fifty Five Fredericksburg PUD did not designate residents the right to build fences up to eight feet in height.
This Planned Unit Development (PUD) is comprised of homes built in close proximity to one another over a largely sloping and tumultuous topography. The property owner has a pool in the rear yard and wishes to ensure privacy of his home and rear yard. Due to the large amounts of foliage present throughout the neighborhood it is unlikely that the fence will be visible from the right of way. This has led the applicant to seek a variance to allow additional fence height. The applicant previously had an eight foot fence and wishes to replace the old fence. The applicant is coming to the board, before construction of the fence, to request a variance to allow for additional fence height.
