Board approves 6‑foot privacy fence exception for West 90 Second Street property
Summary
The board approved a fence height exception to allow replacement of mixed fences with a 6‑foot board‑on‑board privacy fence; the applicant said the change improves privacy where grade differences make the existing 4‑ft chain link inadequate.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a request on Aug. 26 to replace an existing, lower fence with a 6‑foot wood privacy fence at a property on West 90 Second Street.
Staff reported the proposal would replace 4‑foot chain‑link and mixed fencing on three lot lines with a board‑on‑board 6‑foot wood privacy fence in the same perimeter location. Applicant Megan Minor said she was speaking for her mother, who could not attend, and described steep grade differences that make the existing fence visually low; Minor added the board‑on‑board design will present a good side to neighbors and help preserve the open character of the area. "The fence is a board to board design so everyone gets a good side," she told the board.
After brief questions and no written objections in the record, the board voted to approve the fence‑height exception by voice vote; staff will notify the applicant in writing.
