Request
A request for a special exception to allow an eight foot tall fence in the rear yard of the property as described in Section 35-514.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located within the Mahncke Park neighborhood, across from the Mahncke Park. According to the application, the owners are requesting approval to construct an eight foot tall fence around their rear yard to mitigate a grade change issue between neighboring homes. In addition, the applicant states that the neighbor fosters dogs and has installed a doggy door. The dogs become agitated whenever the applicant is in the rear yard. The applicant hopes that the higher fence will reduce the visibility and the frequent disruption her family causes when they exit into their backyard. According to recent amendments adopted to the Unified Development Code, additional fence height up to 8 feet in the rear yard can be approved with a special exception.
Though the property is subject to the Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District regulations, there are none specific to rear fencing.
