6) Courtesy reviews
a) V12-008, 14325 Hopewell Road
Request(s):
To allow the height of a 5 board fence to increase to 72” adjacent
to a public street
Comments:
Looking at the concept fence shown, the average driver won’t
know the difference between a 6’ fence and a 55” fence.
We understand that the applicant is required to comply with USDA
requirements; does not obstruct us in terms of the visual impact that
you might have on the community.
That style of fence would be very attractive.
Enough line of sight that the additional height w ould just not be
noticed.
Obtain letters of support from neighbors.
b) V12-009, 105 Sable Point Drive
Request(s):
To allow an opaque fence in a yard adjacent to a public street.
Comments:
The standard is the horse fence. When the next person comes in to
request this type of fence, how should we respond?
Concerned about everybody coming in to ask for a privacy fence.
‘Along the row’ is specifically the point of the ordinance; to maintain
visuals along main thoroughfares.
Take pictures of similar fences.
Get the endorsements of property owners facing that fence.
5 year old dog ear fences tend to look terrible. Marietta 0passessed
type of fence for maintenance reasons. An option for privacy is to
plant evergreens such as Leyland’s; in between the Leyland’s put up
6’ tall sections of Board and Batten fence. This produces a beautiful
picture framed out.
Look at different styles of fence that may be more aesthetically
pleasing in the long run.
Safety and privacy would be hardships.
7) Other business--none
8) Adjournment
