Rear Yard Requirements. It shall be unlawful to erect a fence at a height exceeding eight (8) feet in any rear yard or along any rear yard lot line. The proposed variance would allow an addition of a two (2) foot lattice to an exis1wQ eight (8) foot fence, in the rear vard. If approved, it would allow a tQ-tal fence height of ten (10) feet. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: An application was submitted to the Department of Development Services by Mr. and Mrs. Kiff. The applicants feel that the increase in fence height will provide additional privacy due to the fact that their neighbor's property to the rear is at a higher elevation. Staff feels that this is not a valid hardship, as this type of condition can be found in many subdivisions in Grapevine. In fact, Staff is often approached by property owners who wish to erect fences exceeding eight (8) feet in height due to the adjacent neighbor's two-story house. The fence extension has been installed without the benefit of a permit. Staff feels that the Board's approval of this request could lead to a dramatic increase in similar cases 0ABBA196-10.4 To <e 1 14.7a5 C e% 0V 94-11 1'94-16 195-05 1 CHAMPWV 9LA - TP <C 21.003 e 21 20 19 20.4 a, nC R-MF -2 O� n�a CC --A 34-01 rP Q c— V I W 1 BBA96-10 DAVID & CHERYL KIFF n � V 3: 9 St C. a 30 � \5}99 7 29'- 6 n jt i — 9 �V 5 21 1 to 7 25 s 6 m 2 W 24 3 m 2S ` 1 2 � (�I21 2I ' t I 2 S < ,3 7 c29 K ` I — —1 0 2 7 E I ,l 120 21 12t i3 12< 1[� 11 to .2 6 s 6 2 7 < I 130A h ~�0.,33 .. � ti I tl I � � A� I �Y � !
