4-Foot Aluminum Fence at 195 East Fountain Approved; 6-Foot Privacy Section to Seek Variance
Loading...
Summary
Commissioners approved a 4-foot aluminum picket fence at 195 East Fountain proposed by Josh Thompson and noted that an included 6-foot wood privacy fence will need a variance from the Board of Appeals.
The commission approved the applicant’s request for a 4-foot aluminum picket fence along the western driveway line at 195 East Fountain. Applicant Josh Thompson introduced himself and explained the project: replacing a deteriorated white picket with a 4-foot aluminum picket fence on the same line and maintaining existing gates, including an 8-foot double gate for backyard access.
Commissioners noted the 6-foot wood privacy fence included in the application is not fully compliant with code and will require a variance from the Board of Appeals; that portion will be considered separately at the appeals board. Planning staff confirmed the 4-foot portion meets code for the presented line and recommended approval. A commissioner moved to approve the 4-foot aluminum portion "as presented," a second was given and the motion passed by voice vote.
The motion as recorded in the transcript carried; the board of appeals will handle the variance request for the 6-foot portion later in the process.
