Mabusth <br />DATE:December 2, 1982 <br />SUBJECT: #720 Doug DeMallgnon, 925 Willow Drive South <br />Variance <br />Zoning District - RR-IB <br />Area - 2+ acres <br />Application - Variance -Height + setback variances required <br />for fence in front yard. <br />Pertinent Ordinances: <br />a) 31.433 non-encroachments <br />Allowed height for fence front yard <br />proposed height <br />variance <br />3.5* <br />8* <br />4.5* or 128% <br />b) 37.090 Screening Required <br />37.100 Type of Screening <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Exhibit D <br />Exhibit E <br />Application <br />Property Owners List <br />Plat Hap <br />Applicant's sketch <br />Staff sketch <br />Mr. DeMalignon has installed an 8* garden trellis for vine <br />like shrubs growing in his front yard. The trellis is located <br />3* off the street right of way (private road outlot - French <br />Lake Road). The applicant wants to erect an 8* high stockade <br />fence along that same line - see survey. Exhibit D. The private <br />road ends at a cul de sac with 4 residential lots between the <br />subject lot and the cul de sac. The access at the west end <br />near the garages will be closed off. In previous discussions <br />with the applicant, staff advised of the vision problems created <br />by 8* high solid structures for the west access. The front of the <br />lot is located along a curve and a hill. The east access is <br />located at the crest of the hill affording clear vision if <br />the proposed fence is not continued to the east lot line. <br />! <br />Our zoning code establishes a height standard for front yard <br />fences at 3.5*. The code fails to give specific guidelines <br />for setbacks for front yard fences that exceed the height <br />limitations.
