The property is located within a cul-de-sac, <br />creating a varying front yard setback. Allowance of the <br />fence provides for a more visually enhanced fence design <br />that is compatible with the character of the existing <br />neighborhood. <br />2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. <br /> <br />The denial of this minor exception would impact the rights of <br />the property owners to enjoy the use of their property.
