Development Review Committee |
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Applicant, Barry Ginn with Infinite Engineering, requested a waiver to the Land Development Code (LDC) requirement of a six-foot-high buffer wall to buffer between residential and commercial uses. The waiver sought to remove the requirement to construct a wall along the west and south boundaries of the property and construct a six-foot fence instead as the adjacent site usage is residential. Applicant’s rationale used for the request was due to the elevation change being over 10 feet from the adjacent residence to the first building on the site. Applicant suggests a six-foot wall will be useless to screen the existing residential property from the adjoining commercial property and vice versa and trees would be a more effective visual barrier.
The subject property is located in the southeast portion of the County on approximately 3.86 acres.
On May 13, 2024 the Development Review Committee (DRC) approved the Waiver Request subject to requiring a wall on the west side of the property and allowing for a fence along the south side of the property. The Board initially heard this item on June 18, 2024, but agreed to have the item brought back at a later date as the applicant was unable to attend that meeting.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to uphold DRC’s action for the Waiver Request.
