Commission approves 6-foot fence at 5300 Pawnee Lane after staff report and neighbor support
Summary
The Fairway Planning Commission granted an exception to allow an existing corner-lot fence to be raised to 6 feet at 5300 Pawnee Lane on Oct. 27, 2025, after staff said an engineering study addressed sight-line concerns and neighbors submitted a letter of support.
The Fairway Planning Commission on Oct. 27 approved a fence-height exception allowing an existing corner-lot fence at 5300 Pawnee Lane to be raised to 6 feet.
Basil, planning staff, said the fence currently exists and the applicants sought an exception to raise it to 6 feet; staff noted an engineering study was submitted and staff did not oppose the request. "They submitted an engineering study regarding the site," Basil said.
A commissioner noted a letter of support from back neighbors Ryan and Leah Humphrey; staff confirmed the Humphreys are adjacent neighbors. Commissioners asked whether sight lines would be affected; staff said they would not. A committee member moved to approve the application "as submitted," and the motion passed by voice vote.
The commission did not add conditions beyond the standard verification of compliance with any engineering recommendations.
