About this application

The applicant wants to replace a failing six-foot retaining wall behind a single-family home at 4814 W Roberts Road with a 14-foot-tall concrete wall in the rear setback. The wall would connect to an existing 14-foot wall on neighboring lots to the east and taper down on the lot to the west. It would stabilize a steep slope above the Hillcrest golf course maintenance area on a 0.34-acre lot.
