HomeMy WebLinkAboutRequest of VarianceThe reason for the installation of the fence is to contain a dog that can jump higher than 42". Therefore,
this proposal includes fence height of 60" on the side yard, parallel to Warbler Way, which is a "front
yard" as related to fences. At that height, the fence will be less than the 72" maximum for residential
fences in rear and side yards. It will match the height of the portion of our neighbors' fence that also
runs parallel to Warbler Way.
Neighbors' (to the South) Fence, parallel with Warbler:
Although the proposed fence will be taller than usual on the side of the property, it is constructed of
ornamental iron and not meant for privacy. Therefore, it will meet the "25% Open" requirement of
"Front Yard" fencing. The proposed fence location is well clear of the 20' Drainage and Utility Easement
on the Eastern side of the property and does not extend forward past the back corner of the residence.
It is also outside of the Drainage Easement on the Western Side of the property, so it will not require a
"Consent to Encroach" from Carmel's Engineering Department. For these reasons we will request a
variance from the City of Carmel if one is required and we would expect to receive that variance after
approval is granted by the HOA.
