Request
A request for 1) a three foot variance from the maximum three foot solid screen fence height as described in Section 35-514 to allow a maximum six foot fence in the front yard; 2) a five foot variance from the minimum five foot side setback, as described in Table 35-310-1, to allow a carport on the side property line; and 3) a variance from the clear vision requirements to allow a fence to be in the Clear Vision field.
Executive Summary
The subject property includes a 9,250 square foot parcel, with a home built in 1953. A home addition was constructed in 2007, right after the applicant purchased the home. As described above, the applicant was cited recently for construction without a building permit. This enforcement action was focused on both the carport and the front yard privacy fencing. Most of the side front yard fencing is four feet, which transitions down from the six foot fence height in the rear. According to the application, the applicant has experienced "break-ins" and decided to increase security around the house by installing a fence and gated driveway. In addition, the neighbors have dogs which bark at them and they were hoping that the addition of a more private front fence would reduce the barking. The carport was constructed very close to the side property line, and includes storm gutters. The applicant submitted several photographs of similar carports, built very close to the side property line, from house around their homes. The applicant is requesting the variances to keep the improvements as constructed.
