Request
A request for 1) a special exception to allow a front yard fence and side yard fence to be 8' tall, as described in Section 35-514, and 2) a 3' 2" variance from the minimum Clear Vision requirement of 15', as described in Section 35-514, to allow a front yard fence to be 11' 10" from the street.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located on the east side of San Antonio within a new single-family subdivision. The applicant is requesting a special exception to allow a fence along the southeastern property line to be 8' tall. The fence will be 11' 10" from the edge of the curb, so a variance to the Clear Vision standards is also being requested. The Development Services Traffic Division has reviewed the request and have stated the proposed layout and fence height at the cul-de-sac does not seem to propose any clear vision or sight constraints upon review.
