BZA approves privacy fence variance for Eric Ortega with waiver paperwork required
Summary
The Clarksville Board of Zoning Appeals on Nov. 19 approved a variance allowing a six‑foot wooden privacy fence in a corner/front yard at 1745 Elmwood Drive, conditioned on completion of required fence‑waiver paperwork and any applicable easement approvals.
The Clarksville Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to allow a six‑foot wooden privacy fence in a corner/front yard at 1745 Elmwood Drive, as presented by petitioner Eric Ortega. Staff reported the property is a corner lot and therefore treated as having two front yards, and that the newly installed fence occupies the same footprint as a previously existing fence.
Kaylee, the planning staff member who presented the item, summarized the recommendation: “Point a, it is unlikely that the fence will cause any safety, moral, or welfare concerns to the community” and noted that the required fence waiver paperwork must be completed for any fence in an easement. Ortega did not add to the staff report, and no members of the public spoke for or against the variance.
Board members moved and seconded approval with the staff conditions; the motion passed with no recorded opposition. The board emphasized that the approval is contingent on the applicant submitting the fence waiver documentation and complying with any easement restrictions.
