B. staff Analysis:
The applicant proposes to construct a 6 foot tall wrought
iron fence around the R-3 zoned property located at 3121
West 12th Street. The fence will be located within 2 feet
of the street side property line on Allis Street and 9.7
feet of the front property line on West 12th Street. The
code limits the height of fences erected within required
setbacks adjacent to streets to 4 feet. The applicant
states he has suffered numerous break-ins during the past
several years and has been advised by the police and courts
to erect a fence around his home.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The
proposed 6 foot wrought iron fence should have no impact on
adjacent properties. The fence stops 9.7 feet away from the
front property line so there should be no impact on sight
distance at the intersection.
