Request
A request for 1) a variance from the restriction against corrugated metal as a fencing material, as described in Section 35-514, to allow for the use of corrugated metal fencing, and 2) a request for a variance from the Clear Vision standards to allow a fence to be within the Clear Vision field.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at the intersection of Dashiell Street and South Hackberry Street. The applicant is requesting to keep corrugated metal fencing on both sides of the property and in the rear yard. The property had a 6' solid wood fence since May 2014. During field visits staff noted that the corrugated metal fence is exposed and was installed on the inside and the outside of the east side fence. The applicant states that the surrounding area experiences heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic due to its proximity to the Alamodome. On December 3, 2018, the Board of Adjustment heard this case and approved a special exception to allow a privacy fence to be 8" tall on both the side and rear yard. The Board made a continuance on this case for the other two requests to allow the applicant time to further research design options in how these requests will be addressed.
