Request
A request for 1) a variance from the Whispering Oaks Neighborhood Conservation District to allow a front yard fence in a portion of the front yard, and 2) a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a 6' tall solid screen fence along a portion of the front yard.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 11402 Whisper Green Street at the intersection with Whisper Willow Street. On 5.19.2017, the applicant obtained a fence permit to replace a 6' wooden privacy fence along the rear and side. The applicant was later denied a 3' solid screen fence permit for a portion of the front yard and side due to the fact that Whispering Oaks Neighborhood Conservation District design requirements does not allow for front yard fencing. The 6' tall solid screen fence is made out of solid wood with stone columns not exceeding 6'. During field visits, staff did not notice any similar fences within immediate vicinity. However, it should be noted that the fence is located along a drainage channel that runs the length of the property.
