The applicant is seeking permission to maintain a fence constructed of compressed wood with vertical-on-vertical boards with horizontal boards on top. The applicant is also asking to maintain such fence with a 2.4 metre sightline obstruction. The height of the fence is between 2.2 meters (87 inches) and 2.3 metres (94 inches) along the fence line due to the slope of ground alongside Jocada Road. It is a corner lot that borders a residential property driveway on the north side.

Staff recommended
