ZBA Case No.: 29-24                                                                                       Zone: RM

Address:          1309 Neilson Street                                                                  Area Variance

Applicant:        Sultan Shami

Owner:             Sultan Properties, LLC

Pursuant to Section 2-29-32(d)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Utica, the applicant is seeking approval of an area variance in order to install fencing at above referenced property.

The applicant is proposing to replace an existing 6’ high chain link fence in the front of the home and in the side yards with a 6’ high solid white vinyl fence.  The proposed fence will replicate the fence that is located on the adjacent property.  The applicant has stated that he will install the new fence in line with the neighboring fence to keep the look cohesive on the block. 

In accordance with Section 2-29-185 (c)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Utica, all fences measuring more than three feet high are prohibited in the front yard of both inside and corner lots, therefore, the applicant will be required to receive an area variance for the height of the proposed fence.
