Variance for fence and foliage in front yard clear-vision area withdrawn
The request would have let a 4-foot fence with solid foliage stay in the front setback and the clear vision triangle at a corner home. City planners had said it was unlikely to be supportable on safety grounds. The applicant withdrew it before a Hearing Examiner decision.
