Board approves 42‑inch front‑yard fence at 2529 East Garage Street with landscape conditions
Summary
The board granted a special permit to install a 42‑inch front‑yard fence at 2529 East Garage Street, subject to approval of a landscape plan and final fence location by the city landscape consultant to protect existing large trees.
The Bexley board approved a special permit to install a 42‑inch front‑yard fence at 2529 East Garage Street after staff and the board discussed tree protection and streetscape consistency.
Staff noted the board had previously considered a similar application; the ARB/landscape committee recommended that front‑yard installations be set back to preserve street trees, but staff and the applicant said the existing large trees and plantings make a set‑back impractical. The board required that a landscape plan be submitted and approved by the city landscape consultant, and that the final fence location be set to avoid damaging large existing trees and root zones.
The applicant and neighbors discussed materials; the board noted construction materials can affect safety and durability and encouraged heavier materials if collision risk is a concern. The special permit delegates final placement and landscape approval to staff and the city’s landscape consultant. The motion passed on roll call with conditions that landscaping remain and final location be approved.
