The phrase "required front yard" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Grapevine Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73. * The variance request, if approved, would allow a fence exceeding 8'-0" in height in the required side yard along Merlot Avenue as shown on the plot plan. * * Additionally, the variance request, if approved, would allow a fence exceeding thirty six (36) inches in height and fifty (50) per cent through vision to be constructed in both the required and established front yard on a corner lot as shown on the plot plan.
