Public Hearing on the request of Michael & Lisa Eckstein, 2970 Broxton Road, to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to the fence location, height and landscaping regulations on a corner lot. The applicant proposes to replace an existing fence with a 6-foot tall solid wood fence on this corner lot at Broxton and South Woodland Roads. The fence is proposed to replace an existing fence located on the western property line, 4 feet off the South Woodland Road sidewalk. Code requires that fences located in corner side yards not extend in front of the setback line of the principal building on the adjacent lot. The adjacent house on South Woodland Road is set back 60 feet. Code allows a fence height of 3 feet tall on a corner front yard. The fence is proposed to replace the existing 6-foot tall wood fence that was approved in 1993. The existing fence was approved with landscape screening on the western side of the fence. No landscaping was installed and the applicant does not intend to plant that landscaping when the proposed replacement fence is installed.
