Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties; No, this will not be an undesirable change. Replacing the chicken wire fence with a solid one is part of our larger effort to landscape and improve a currently overgrown sloped portion of the property. There are no adverse impacts to line of sight (if anything it would improve once landscaping is completed). : We have letters from our surrounding neighbors in support of replacing the existing wire fence with a solid one. s Seer, 2 a SOT MEE ey ee 1 ee ose fe ama a Bs AR VE BNE oe ' Se 2 Rey eae ok a Gers ha ie Asie Bos a a } bo ae, a + “a Aes Si <4 * Pm Pusat f 3 rae ee 4 c U Cs B. ; 5s a 15 s € Ar =s esa pass if Re / i ? ae My p24 ceo TO aw ee SS ae * ya La) Py Rtiatray the / sg Ne a) oes So BONG DE He Sage Co see : ¢ el enmamestay i sate | as ; s 2 eae t oomess Pao eee | i ee nee nC k ra.

Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance; No, we are looking to establish some separation between the street and the yard, a solid fence is the most realistic way to do that. We have a 2 year old (and another on the way) and having solid separation from the street into the yard and vice versa is important to us for safety reasons. We also have a dog who can get excited when he sees other dogs/runners through the existing chicken wire, this would also address those concerns. 3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial; e- \ No, we are requesting to continue a small section of an existing fence and replace an older fence with one of an identical height. 4. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district; No, we feel the opposite is the case. We have consulted with local landscaping companies that specialize in native plants and plan to invest in improving the overgrown area. The discussions we’ve had to landscape/improve the side area are predicated on replacing the chicken wire fence with a solid one, since a primary concern is that we have separation between the yard and street side. Here is a current picture of the area we are looking to have landscaped as part of the larger project associated with putting in the fence: mera tle Om meg yy es Ya WE NAY ij , NL ES eee sinh ne ) A/S EN VE A xe ean ae aR | a ; SS FE Fe \ > TR Cais Hod re. i MATRA? ocle” pSods a) | Ae _ ARBAB Sn aT re ay PA Dee say cea Auta io ay rn sistem wn hig PADRE.
