Special permit granted for 6-foot street-side fence at corner lot, with landscaping condition
Summary
The board granted a special permit to allow a six-foot fence on the street-side yard of a corner lot at 2551 East (Burrard/Broad) with a condition to submit a landscape application to the Tree and Public Garden Commission.
The Bexley Board of Zoning and Planning granted a special permit allowing a six-foot-tall fence on the street-side yard of the corner property at 2551 East (Burrard/Broad), subject to a condition that the applicant submit a landscape plan to the Tree and Public Garden Commission.
Staff and the applicant explained the previous fence had been roughly five feet tall and in aging condition; the new fence was replaced before the hearing and is six feet tall. Bexley code requires transparency in the upper 12–18 inches and a landscape plan to mitigate the visual impact of a solid street-side fence on a corner lot. Staff recommended the applicant file a landscape application for review.
The board voted to grant the special permit under Bexley code section 1264.03(b) with the stated condition. The motion was moved by Mr. Schick and seconded by Mr. King. Roll call recorded one no vote from the chairman; the permit was granted by majority vote.
Staff advised the applicant to submit the required landscape application to the Tree and Public Garden Commission and coordinate any planting or screening details to satisfy the code condition.
