Variance for 6'6" fence at 1611 Milverton postponed after applicant absence
Summary
The Troy City Building Code Board of Appeals postponed action on a fence-height variance request for 1611 Milverton after the applicant did not appear; staff reported one resident emailed support and the board voted unanimously to defer to the next meeting.
The Troy City Building Code Board of Appeals postponed consideration of a fence-height variance for 1611 Milverton after the applicant was not present and had asked for a continuation.
Staff explained the property is a corner lot in the R1E zoning district, with front-yard setbacks of 25 feet along East Maple Road and a front-yard fence-height limit of 30 inches. The petitioner requested permission to install a 6 ft 6 in vinyl privacy fence running approximately 54 feet along East Maple Road eight feet from the property line, with returns along the house property line and rear property line that together produced about 80 lineal feet of fence within the required front-yard setback.
Dominic reported the applicant asked to postpone until they could appear in person; staff also reported one resident email in support of the petition. The board opened public comment (none in-person), then a member moved to postpone the applicant’s request to the next meeting; the motion was seconded and the clerk recorded unanimous votes in favor and the motion carried.
Staff said that when the item is rescheduled they will request the applicant provide additional details such as a product photo or brochure showing fence style and color.
