Board of Adjustment Public Hearing Minutes
The Board of Adjustment conducted a public hearing regarding a variance application for a property located at 1102 E Camp St. The applicant requested permission to install a 6-foot-high fence, which exceeds the city's code restriction of 4 feet along streets and avenues. The applicant justified the request based on the need for privacy due to high traffic, protection from wildlife such as coyotes, and prevention of deer damage to garden vegetation. Following staff analysis and findings regarding reasonable use of the property and minimal impact on the neighborhood character, the Board approved the variance.
