Request
A request for 1) a variance from the restriction of corrugated metal, described in Section 35-514, as a fencing material to allow for its use of fencing and 2) a variance from the Clear Vision Standards, described in Section 35-514, to allow a fence to be within the Clear Vision field.
Executive Summary
The subject property is a single family home at the southwest corner of Santa Monica Street and Buckeye Street. The property is a corner lot and an alley abuts the South property line. The property owner obtained a permit in June of 2018 to construct a wood fence that was up to 6' tall and not encroaching into the clear vision field. The fence that was constructed included wood and metal and encroaches into the clear vision field along the side property line and along the alley. The property owner received a citation for the violations, and as a result is requesting these variances. The property owner states they were unaware of the metal restriction as the permits were pulled by the contractor. Upon visit to the property staff noticed that the fence is entirely solid and there is a driveway along the South side of the property. The fence along the West side of the property is 9'7" from the street. The alley is 10' wide, maintained, and appears to be regularly used.

There is no code enforcement history on file for the fence.
