standard for a fence wi
ante from the four-foot maximum height
root yard resulting in a six-foot fence in the front
(R-2) located at 4755 Simms Street.
1. The subject property will continue to yield a reasonable return in this case and will
function as a two-family dwelling if the variance is approved,
2. Granting the variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood as a six-foot
privacy fence within a residential front yard will not create a visual impact since it
does not extend the full length of the front yard.
3. There are no physical conditions or other irregular conditions present on the property
or in the neighborhood that would preclude a fence from being constructed in a
manner that complies with the fence height regulations. Due to the confusion upon
the initial inquiry to the city and by the lack of understanding on the part of the
Board of adjustment

applicant, this situation has been created. Only a portion of the "front yard" is
involved with the construction of the present six-foot fence.
4. The noncompliant fence was constructed by the property owner and, therefore, the
lack of understanding and confusion from communications with city staff has resulted
in the need for a variance.
5. An anonymous complaint was received and a letter of support was received.
6. A six-foot fence previously existed and, although placed further back on the property,
it was still visible. Further, a new fence stands out more but will eventually weather
and will not be as noticeable.
