Zoning board approves front-yard fence variance for through corner lot at 24 Homestead Lane
Summary
The board unanimously approved a variance to allow a fence with a front-yard portion at 24 Homestead Lane, citing the lot’s corner layout and easements; applicants were Daniel and Carolyn Stacks.
The Silver Spring Township Zoning Hearing Board unanimously approved a variance on June 8 allowing a fence that includes a portion in the front yard at 24 Homestead Lane.
Daniel and Carolyn Stacks, the property owners and applicants, requested relief from Section 301.1 of the Silver Spring Township Zoning Ordinance to permit the fence in the Rural Residential (R) zoning district, where fence height in a front yard is limited to three feet. The applicants described the property as a through corner lot with existing easements and noted proposed additions to the residence.
Chelsea Leiby, the zoning hearing officer, confirmed that legal notices were posted in accordance with law. No members of the public spoke for or against the application during the public comment period.
Board Member Ryan Siney moved to approve the application and variance; Board Member James Hall seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The minutes do not list specific conditions attached to the approval; any conditions would be reflected in the board’s written decision.
