UPDATE: THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED BY THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT
The Board of Zoning Adjustment will be holding a hearing on May 18, 2020 at 9:00 am to consider approving a special exception request for a fence built at 3 E. 69th Terrace.
Traditionally hearings are held in the Council Chamber on the 26th floor of City Hall, 414 East 12th Street. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic this may not be possible and staff is pursuing alternatives that would allow participation remotely, including teleconference or submitting comments via email. Details regarding how to view the hearing and provide testimony will be confirmed here no later than 48 hours prior to the hearing.
The current city ordinance prohibits 6’ fences on corner lots. Special exceptions may be granted by the board provided that it is demonstrated that:
(1) There is good and sufficient cause to grant the exception commensurate with the degree and nature of the exception requested;
(2) The grant of a special exception will not adversely affect the appearance of the neighborhood or adjacent properties; and
(3) The wall or fence is compatible with the existing residence/building in terms of materials, color and design.
