Request
A request for 1) a variance to allow metal as a fencing material in the rear and side yard as described in Section 35-514 (6)(d) and 2) a variance from the 50 percent maximum front yard impervious cover to allow 80 percent impervious cover, as described in Table 35-515-1.
Executive Summary
The applicant built a corrugated metal fence without first obtaining the required permit. The applicant was cited by code enforcement and now is requesting a variance to keep the fence as is. On March 16, 2017, the owner hired a contractor to install a one driveway approach for the property and since the City does not require a permit for most flatwork, most of the front yard was paved by the contractor at the same time. The flatwork done in the front yard did not meet the impervious cover requirement.
