Zoning Board approves fence height exceptions for Sagamore Road and Granada Drive

The Leawood Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) made significant strides in property regulations during their meeting on May 28, 2025, approving two key requests for fence height exceptions.

In the first case, the board unanimously approved a request for a fence height exception on Sagamore Road, allowing the installation of a fence that exceeds standard height regulations. The motion received strong support, with members voting in favor without opposition.

The second case involved a request from residents at 13212 Granada Drive, who sought permission to place a four-foot steel fence closer to their property line than typically allowed. The board noted that the homeowners aimed to align their fence with those of their neighbors, which was a significant factor in their decision. The request was backed by the Wilshire Homeowners Association, further solidifying the community's support for the project. After a brief discussion, the board approved this request as well.

Both decisions reflect the BZA's commitment to accommodating residents' needs while maintaining community standards. The board concluded the meeting with a motion to adjourn, wrapping up a productive session focused on enhancing local property aesthetics and neighborly harmony.
