Docket No. PZ-2024-00037 V
Petitioner: Rebecca Brammer
This request is for a vision clearance variance to add a fence along the
sidewalk on the corner lot at 1st Avenue NW and 2nd Street NW. The
fence will be 36” in height and set back 12” from the sidewalks. Being
on a corner lot the standards are to have a visual clearance of 15’ along
each property line. We are requesting a clearance of 12’ along each
property line.
We would like to install the fence for privacy, security and with
considerations for aesthetics. We have dogs and even though we have
invisible fence we feel both people walking on the sidewalks and we
would feel more secure with a visual fence between the two. We also
would like the fence to provide extra security and privacy because we
have a deck on the 2nd St NW street side of our house.
We are requesting the variance for the 15’ triangle set back to 12’ to
provide a nicer balance on the front of the house between the corner
and the gate at the walkway to the front door. There is currently a bush
in the triangle that the previous owner planted that will be removed
when the fence is installed. This variance will also allow our dogs to
have more space in the yard.
The fence will be a 3’ high black metal fence similar to others in the
area.
