Planning board grants two fence variances in Daytona North after privacy and safety discussion
Summary
The board unanimously approved after‑the‑fact fence variances at 2147 Avocado Blvd and a separate requested fence/shed variances at 5199 Mahogany Blvd in Daytona North; applicants said privacy and flood‑elevation concerns motivated the work and submitted site measurements showing vision clearance met.
The Planning & Development Board unanimously approved two separate fence‑height variance requests for properties in the Daytona North mobile‑home district.
At 2147 Avocado Boulevard (project 2025110046), the owner, Giovanni D27Alessandro, requested after‑the‑fact variances to keep an 8‑foot wood fence along the side setback and a 6‑foot fence in a front setback following construction. He told the board the house finished floor sits about 2 feet above road center line; he built the fence to give his wife and their homeschooled children privacy. Staff showed the required vision‑clearance measurement of 22 feet from the fence to the pavement, exceeding the 20‑foot minimum. The board approved the variance, noting the fence met safety checks and the applicant acted in good faith.
At 5199 Mahogany Boulevard (project 2025120079), the owner sought a combination of relief: a roughly 0.81‑ft encroachment for a shed, 2‑ft height allowances to exceed maximum fence heights in front and rear setbacks, and other related items. The applicant presented transparent aluminum fence details for the front setback to preserve vision clearance. No public opposition was recorded for that application and the board voted to approve the requested variances.
In both matters board members emphasized that approvals do not waive any separate permitting or site‑clearing requirements; after‑the‑fact approvals still require fence permits and compliance with other county codes.
