Summary

At a Sept. 10 hearing homeowners Rachael and Jason Leffler requested to replace a six-foot cedar fence with a six-foot vinyl fence in the front plane of 3417 Plyers Mill Road; the council supported preparing a resolution for approval Oct. 10 and later voted to move a resolution forward.

At a Variance Hearing on Sept. 10, homeowners Rachael and Jason Leffler requested permission to replace a deteriorating six-foot cedar fence installed in 2012 with a six-foot vinyl fence in the front plane of their property at 3417 Plyers Mill Road.

The Lefflers told the council the fence would remain "twenty-six feet back from Plyers Mill Road" and that sight lines to the road would not be hindered; they said the final section would remain six feet so it can connect to a four-foot yard fence. There were no public comments. Council Members questioned fence transition details and supported the variance; Council Member Bartram later moved that staff prepare a resolution in support of the variance for the Oct. 10 meeting, and that motion passed unanimously.

The request was considered under Section 5-109(b), “Fences, Walls and Retaining Walls,” of the Town Code; the Council’s action at this meeting was to direct staff to prepare a resolution for consideration at the next meeting rather than to adopt a final variance ordinance on Sept. 10.
