Request
A request for 1) a special exception to allow an eight foot tall privacy fence in the front and side yard of the property and 2) a variance from the prohibition against corrugated or sheet metal as a fencing material, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a fence made of sheet metal.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4235 Diamondhead, approximately 515 feet east of Kingston Street. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction of a fence without permits. The fence in question is eight feet tall and located in the front and side yard of the property. This height may be granted by the Board of Adjustment through a special exception. However, in addition to the increased height, the fence is made of sheet metal - a prohibited material as described in the Unified Development Code. To approve this material, the Board of Adjustment would also have to grant a variance.
