SUBJECT: Consider a request for a variance to the screening requirement
from an 8' tall opaque fence to a 6' tall opaque fence
FILE: 603-BA
STAFF REPORT
Rob Clark, representing BISD, has applied for a variance to the
screening requirement from an 8' tall opaque fence to a 6' tall opaque
fence. The property is located at 6225 N. Circuit.
BISD is building a new school for the Sally Curtis Elementary School.
The old school building will be demolished and a new school will be
built in its place. As a result of the demolition, the current screening
requirement of providing an 8' tall opaque fence along the property
lines that abut residential zoning applies.
Mr. Clark states that BISD would like to construct 6' tall fences along
the north and a portion of the south property lines. A church is
adjacent to the property on the west and a fence is not required on
that side. The main purpose for the request for 6' tall fences is
BISD=s goal to reduce the chance of severe damage to the fences due
to hurricane winds since the exposure across the open fields hare high
and, if damaged, the issue of delays in having the fences repaired for
school security issues.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
