Front-setback fence variances on residential lots

Grove City

Summary

Two cases this meeting involved fences built closer to the street than code allows — one replaced a previously permitted fence, and the applicant had no idea a permit was needed. The board generally grants these when sight lines and neighbors aren't harmed, but the cases show how easily homeowners trip over setback rules.
