SE 25-02: A request for a special exception to Chapter 6, Article IV of the City of Richardson’s Code of Ordinances: Sec. 6-209 (3) to allow an 8-foot-tall wooden fence to be located in the required front yard along Chapel Creek Court. The property is located at 3105 Canyon Creek Drive and is zoned R-1500-M Residential.

The homeowner explained that they bought the home expecting to use the yard space and want the fence for their family.

A nearby neighbor spoke in strong support, noting that other corner lots have similar fences and it improves neighborhood property values.

Speaking on behalf of his mother who lives across the street, he raised procedural questions about noticing and expressed concern that an 8-foot fence close to the sidewalk would look like a fortress.
