The variance <br /> would allow the property owner to deviate from standards described within City Code Section <br /> 117 -111 (R -1 Residential) to construct a six (6) foot high privacy fence along portions of the <br /> property's front yard, exceeding the height limit by two (2) feet. The request was prompted by <br /> the loss of trees that stood where the fencing is being proposed. Those trees were removed as a <br /> result of the reconstruction of the intersection immediately adjacent to the property. Staff <br /> reviewed the case in further detail with the Commission and recommended approval of <br /> resolutions related to the request for a variance to the height limit for fencing within the front <br /> yard setback of a residential property. <br /> Planning Commission /October 9, 2014 <br /> Page 4 of 14 <br />
