RE: Variance Request 09-03, 6 ft. fence at Jungle Village (8801 Astronaut Blvd.)
The applicant requests a variance from section 110-470(3), which states:
In any commercial or industrial district, no fence or wall in any side or rear yard shall be over eight feet
in height or over four feet in height if within 25 feet of any public right-of-way. When the boundary of a
commercial or industrial zoning district abuts any residential zoning district, and a fence or wall is used to
meet the requirements of section 110-566, the fence or wall shall have a minimum height of six feet and a
maximum height of eight feet;
The application indicated that BCSO reports were to be included. I did not see them.
However, I understand that numerous investigations have been conducted by deputies and I
agree that a six ft. fence around the perimeter of the property would help prevent crime at this
site.
I support the variance request, provided that no portion of the new fence violates the 25 ft.
visibility triangle (Sec. 110-469).
Note: per sec. 110-470(5) If chain-link is used for fencing, it must have a top rail and the rail and chain-link must
be coated in a rubber or vinyl material.
