The applicant has 3 requests. The first is a request for a variance from the Clear Vision standards to allow a fence to encroach on the Clear Vision field. The second request is for a variance to allow the use of corrugated metal as fencing. The third request is for a special exception to allow up to an 8' fence along the front and side property lines. The applicant has constructed a 5' fence out of corrugated metal along the front and side property lines in order to provide more privacy, a safe space from stray cats and dogs, and a structurally sound enclosure for his dog. The only portion of the fence that is 8' high is the front gate along a portion of the front property line which has an 8' peak. The property is surrounded by residential properties.
