Request
A request for 1) a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow for a fence that is eight feet tall in the front yard of the property and 2) a variance to allow for a two-foot wide section of that fence to be ten feet tall, also described in Section 35-514.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 13415 Pebble Hollow, approximately 125 feet north of Pebble Hill. The fence was designed to provide added privacy to the property owners. Many homes in this garden-home community have six foot wood privacy fences. Because many homes have tall fencing along the front facades, this eight foot fence does not stand out from other homes in the community. There is a small section of the fence that is ten feet tall and incorporates a decorative wagon-wheel design element. This element is considered a fence by definition, and because special exceptions can only be granted to allow fences up to eight feet tall on residential property, a variance is required for this small section of fencing.
A fence is defined in the Unified Development Code as "A tangible enclosure or barrier, constructed of any material allowable by this chapter, but not including hedges, shrubs, trees, or other natural growth, erected for the purposes of providing a boundary, separation of areas, means of protection, to prevent uncontrolled access, decorative purposes, or concealment".
