Board approves front‑yard playground fence variance for Kid City USA
Summary
The board granted a variance to permit a playground fence to encroach into the established front yard at the Kid City USA site; the encroachment is roughly five feet and the approval was unanimous.
The Board approved a variance of development standard to permit a playground fence within the established front yard at the Kid City USA property in the Spring Mill Trails Planning and Development District.
Planner Ryan Collingwood reported the petition was properly noticed and that the petitioner’s representative was present; staff received no written public comments. During the brief public hearing, board members examined the site plan and confirmed the fence would encroach roughly five feet into the front yard area adjacent to a sidewalk; staff explained the alternative would require the building to be set further back on the lot.
A motion to approve the variance (2502‑BS‑04) with the staff conditions carried on unanimous roll call. The board also adopted findings of fact for the item. The change allows the playground fence in the front yard as shown on the submitted exhibit, subject to the conditions in the staff report and standard permitting requirements.
