Request
A request for a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a 6 foot tall wood privacy fence in a portion of the front yard of a reverse corner lot.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 15230 Spring Corner at its intersection with Spring Buck. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction of a fence without permits and is seeking a special exception to allow for taller privacy fencing in a portion of the front yard to remain. The subject property is a reverse corner lot - See exhibits for Reverse Corner Lot.
Reverse corner lots are subject to two different front setback requirements. Though the fence is built behind the vertical plane of the fa?ade of the dwelling it is still considered front yard fencing. The Unified Development Code permits solid screen fencing in the front yard up to three feet in height. The applicant needs a special exception to grant the six foot fence. The applicant stated that they expanded the fence into this reverse corner lot front yard so that the family would have additional space to enjoy the outdoors.
