5814 IH-10 East
Legal Description:
Lot 5 and P-32, P-33, P-34, Block 1, NCB 17322

Request
A request for 1) a four foot variance from the maximum 8 foot fence height to allow a 12 foot fence in the rear and side yards; 2) a variance from the provision that prohibits corrugated sheet metal as a fencing material, both as described in Section 35-514; and 3) a 25 foot variance from the 25 foot landscaped bufferyard required along the side and rear property lines, as required in Table 35-510.
Executive Summary
The subject property includes approximately 18 acres, ten acres used as a Used Auto Parts Recycler since 1989 and eight acres recently approved by the City Council for expansion. A new operator is requesting the above-described variances, citing safety from potential vandalism as a primary reason. The site is located in a remote part of the City and could become a target for theft. The additional four feet in fence height will increase security significantly. In addition, they request authorization to use sheet metal as a fencing material and instead of the landscaped bufferyard. The landscaped bufferyard, 25 feet in width will not enhance the adjacent properties, but instead be located inside the required screen fencing.
