SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE NO. 88-7 - Request Approval of an Administrative Variance to allow an increase of fence height to seven feet on a 27 foot portion of a side yard fence at 3554 Sitio Baya.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Weiss:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Variance at 3554 Sitio Baya. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director has determined that the four findings required for granting an Administrative Variance cannot be made
and, therefore, genies this -requesi based on the following findings and conditions.
Findincls:
1.
2.
3.
4.
There are not exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone.
The requested variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same. vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question. The stated purpose for the seven foot high portion of the fence is to provide privacy for a spa that has been elevated above the grade of the back yard. The spa could have been either placed at grade or located in a more private portion of the yard. It should be noted that there have been no other requests for fence height variances in the vicinity.
The granting of this variance will be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located because an approval of this variance could establish an undesirable precedent since it would degrade the visual quality of the R-1 zone in general and in the neighborhood in particular.
The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General P1 an because no use change is proposed and the density will not be increased.
