Request
A request for 1) a special exception to allow a predominately open front yard fence, as described in Section 35-514, to be 6' tall with a 6' 10" tall gate, 2) a special exception to allow a solid screen fence in the front yard, as described in Section 35-514, to be 6' tall, 3) a 4' 11" variance from the minimum 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-510, to allow an attached carport to be 1" from the side property line, and 4) a 3' 6" variance from the 15' minimum Clear Vision Standard, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a gate to be 11' 6" away from the street.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located along Peggy Drive, southeast of the Loop 410 and IH-10 East interchange. The property owner was issued a Stop Work Order for not having a fence permit for the front yard fence. The fencing along the front property line is wrought iron and exceeds the 5' height maximum and there is a section of solid screened fencing along the side property line which is installed past the front fa?ade of the home. This section of solid screened fencing is considered to be in the front yard and is exceeding the 3' maximum height for solid screened fencing. Upon the site visit conducted by staff, a carport was observed to be encroaching into the side setback by 4' 11".
Additionally, it was observed that the front yard fence encroaches into the Clear Vision Field. DSD Traffic Engineering staff reviewed this item and see no concern with the proposed placement. Proposed gate layout and fence height does not seem to propose any clear vison or sight constraints upon our review.
