Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 925 West Magnolia, in the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District, approximately 295 feet west of Blanco Road. The applicant is seeking a special exception to allow for taller privacy fencing along the east property line. This property line is shared with an adjacent multi-family development and the owner of the subject property wishes to install the fencing for increased privacy of the dwelling and to screen the property from the abutting trash receptacles.
