Case for corrugated‑metal fence at 3723 Calibra Road deferred for re‑advertising and neighborhood outreach

The Board of Adjustment did not act on an application to allow corrugated‑metal fencing and a 5‑foot front privacy fence at 3723 Calibra Road (case BOA2510300026). Staff recommended denial for both the material variance and the front‑yard height special exception, and the Calibra Park Neighborhood Association submitted written opposition.

At the hearing developers and representatives explained the property had been purchased as commercial (C2) and that the owner intended to operate a dealership. The applicant’s representative described the existing corrugated‑metal fence as six feet tall in places and said the front open wrought‑iron portion could be five feet — but the case had been advertised with inconsistent height figures (advertised as 5 feet while the built fence is 6 feet in places). Staff and commissioners advised the applicant the discrepancy requires re‑advertising so neighbors can be notified of the correct requests. The board also noted the neighborhood association’s opposition and advised the applicant to consult the association before the next filing.

No motion was taken on the substance; staff directed the applicant to correct the application materials, meet with the Calibra Park Neighborhood Association, and re‑advertise the case. The city told the applicant the earliest return date would follow the required notice period.

Why it matters: the item shows the board enforcing procedural requirements for proper notice and clear plans before deciding fence material and height variances, especially where neighborhood groups object.

What’s next: applicant to refile with correct fence heights and material descriptions, document outreach to Calibra Park Neighborhood Association, and return for a future hearing after re‑advertising.
