Commission grants corner‑side yard fence variance, adds sight‑line condition
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved a variance allowing a 6‑foot privacy fence to extend to the corner side property line at 16558 West Ash Lane, matching an adjacent non‑conforming condition, and required final placement to preserve driveway sight lines.
The Plan and Zoning Commission voted on Nov. 12 to approve a variance allowing a six‑foot privacy fence to extend to the corner‑side property line at 16558 West Ash Lane, instead of the code‑required 4‑foot open fence and 15‑foot setback. Staff noted the adjoining property already has a nonconforming six‑foot fence installed under prior staff action; commissioners concluded the situation arose from a prior city decision and that granting the variance for the subject parcel would address a city‑created hardship.
Commissioners asked staff to coordinate final alignment and minor adjustments to avoid creating blind spots for driveway egress; staff agreed to work with the applicant on sight‑line measures and to confirm exact placement and panel counts before installation.
Motion and outcome: Commissioners moved to accept findings of fact and approve the corner side yard setback variance with the sight‑line adjustment; the motion passed by roll call.
