Variance granted to enclose yard for dogs at Victory Court after staff finds sight lines preserved
Summary
Board approved a corner-yard fence variance for 2901 Victory Court to enclose a west-side yard for dogs; staff said the fence will remain at least 40–41 feet from the intersection and required a fence waiver if placed in an easement.
The board approved a variance allowing a privacy fence on a corner lot at 2901 Victory Court to enclose an area for the applicant's dogs, after staff said the fence would preserve the sight triangle and mitigate safety concerns.
Planning staff noted the property is zoned R1, surrounded by single-family residences, and that the fence would not extend past the façade that faces Victory Court; "The fence is 40 feet from the intersection and will not extend past the front facade of the house to ensure the vision triangle is maintained," staff said. Staff also described the difference in usable fenced area under the ordinance (about 500 sq ft without a variance) versus the applicant's proposal (roughly 3,500 sq ft) and recommended conditions, including a fence waiver if the fence encroaches on an easement.
Board members asked clarifying questions about sight lines but recorded no public opposition; a motion to approve was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote with the staff-recommended condition(s). The board recorded the variance with the noted conditions for the applicant.
