Location - 434 River Road. Lot 21. Block 4, Rio Vista Subdivision. Mr. Taylor presented to the Commission his plan to fence a portion of his property. He had statements from some property owners in area, stating they had no objection to the planned fence. He also had a statement from one owner that objected to his plan. claiming it would block the flow of air to his property. Mr. Taylor presented pictures and a drawing of his property showing the area to be fenced and the need for more fenced area. Earl Hartzog advised the Commission that the City Inspection Depart- ment had looked at the area and indicated the planned area to be fenced would not obstruct view creating a vehicle safety hazard. The Commission determined the area planned to be fenced is not permitted in accordance with City zoning ordinances. Article XVI restricts the height of front yard fences at 48 inches and side. yards' are to be open and unobstructed. It was determined a Board of ~djustment would be required (Article XXIV-Section 4) in order for Mr. Taylor to fence the side and front yard with a 6' privacy fence.
