BACKGROUND
Description of Proposed Project
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing front yard fence in front of the courtyard and construct a new fence, which will have the same height as the existing fence. The proposed fence is 6 feet in height, measured from finished grade, and 7 feet 10 inches in height measured from top of the curb (TOC) on Pome Avenue, since the property slopes up, resulting in a 1-foot 10-inch grade difference between TOC and finished grade. The proposed fence has a setback of 15 feet from the front property line, which is intended to provide a larger private front yard space as desired by the applicant. The project also includes replacement of the existing 6-foot tall front fence (to the southwest corner of the property) setback approximately 20 feet from the front property line, in the same location.
