Commission approves fence variance allowing homeowner to replace front fence in same location
Summary
The commission voted 7–0 to forward fence variance 2026-211-SFP allowing Deborah Kitchens to replace an aging chain-link fence in its current location; neighbor Toby Pence confirmed willingness to accommodate small adjustments if needed.
Deborah Kitchens (speaker 17) requested permission to replace an existing chain-link front fence that had been in place since her house was built in the 1960s. Kitchens said she is a recent widow and seeks privacy and security; she asked to keep the fence in the existing location.
Neighbor Toby Pence (speaker 15) confirmed he had no objections but commissioners discussed trimming a corner by about 15 feet to ease sight-lines; Kitchens and Pence said they prefer to retain the fence line as-is but Kitchens indicated willingness to accommodate if necessary. The commission moved to forward 2026-211-SFP to City Council for approval, and the motion carried 7–0. The chair announced the applicant may replace the fence in the same place and adjourned the meeting at 7:53 p.m.
