Request
A request for a 1'11" variance from the required 2' sidewalk separation requirement in the Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District design standards to allow a 22" wall to be 1" from the sidewalk.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting to finish a 22" brick/stone wall a 1" away from the sidewalk. Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District design standards 2.7.2 states that "New front yard fences and walls shall be not more than forty-two inches (42") in height and separated from existing sidewalk by not less than two feet (2'-0"). The 22" stone wall work was initiated without a permit and the owner received stop work order on 11.16.2018. During field visits, staff noted two other residential properties within close proximity that have a similar stone wall about 22" tall and about 2' away from the sidewalk and that were probably built prior to the adoption of the Mahncke Park Neighborhood Conservation District design standards.

Code Enforcement History

On 11.16.2018 the owner received stop work order for working without a permit and encroaching into 2' distance from the sidewalk.

Permit History

The property owner is seeking variance to allow for a fence/wall permit to be issued.
