Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the Blue Crest Estates area, a unique part of the City with large wooded lots and estate zoning. The parcel was created in 1976 with nearly 1.6 acres at the end of a stub street. A stub street is defined as a short section of street that is usually built with the anticipation that it will be extended into adjacent vacant property. The one-lot plat however eliminated the possibility that the street would ever be extended. More recently, a home with over 4,000 square feet was built. The home sits over 100 feet back from the front property line. The owner sought a building permit to build a six foot fence around the perimeter of the site in 2015. A special exception is required to allow the gate taller than 6 feet and the privacy portions of the fencing.
