Request
A request for 1) a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a privacy fence to be up to 8' tall within the rear yard and 2) an 5' variance, also described in Section 35-514, to allow a privacy fence to be up to 8' tall along the side property line within the front yard and 3) a variance from the Clear Vision standards, also described in Section 35-514, to allow a fence to be within the Clear Vision field.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 139 Valdez Avenue, west of Brackenridge Golf Course. The applicant has constructed an 8' tall privacy wood fence along the side property line within the front yard without a permit and is proposing an 8' tall privacy fence along the rear-side property lines. The applicant states concerns of distractions caused by customers of the North Saint Mary's Strip.
The characteristic of the Valdez Avenue is a narrow two-way street made up of single-family residences and commercial uses. There is a vacant lot located behind this property that zoned commercial. Therefore, 35-514 (b) (2) allows the owner to build up to 8' tall fence along the very back of property line. At the end of Valdez Street where it crosses St. Mary's Street, there is a bar and a club. Two neighboring houses have built 6' tall solid fence within their front yard that are not in compliance with the code but the majority have 5' tall chain link fence located in front yard.
