Case #26-05V — 71 Morris Avenue fence variance

Athens

Description

Permission to build 70 feet of 6-foot fence along Cornwall Street just 2 feet from the property line, where 5 feet of setback is required, to deter deer and screen the neighboring BP station and parking lot.

Impact summary

A narrow corner-lot side yard gets a privacy and deer barrier without obstructing sight lines or future sidewalks (which the terrain likely precludes anyway).
