Board allows 8‑foot privacy fence at Atlas Street home and grants narrow shed setbacks
Summary
The Board granted variances that let a homeowner keep an 8‑foot privacy fence and retain a shed close to property lines, with conditions after debate about sight lines, moveability and neighborhood impacts.
The Board of Adjustment granted variances for an eight‑foot privacy fence and for an existing backyard shed at 183 Atlas Street after considering safety, neighborhood character and the applicant’s circumstances.
Applicant Terry Frey told commissioners she had erected the 8‑foot privacy fence without realizing she needed a variance and said the fence was intended to shield security cameras and bright lights from an adjacent home. Frey, who lost her mother recently, described the fence as part of efforts to create privacy and security around a small ADA‑compliant house she completed in 2019.
