ITEM SUMMARY: A site plan for the subject property was previously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 24, 2001, which proposed 4 multiple family dwelling units to be placed on an approximately 0.40 acre parcel of land. The previously approved masonry screening wall was recently removed, and the applicant is requesting to replace the masonry wall with an alternate screening device (6' tall wood fence) along the southern and eastern property lines. Per Section 146-132 of the Zoning Ordinance, alternate screening devices must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
