This item concerns a property located at the southeastern corner of East Plymouth Avenue and North Garfield Avenue. The property is approximately 20,394 square feet and currently has a 1,650 square-foot single-family residence. The applicant is requesting to keep an existing, unpermitted six-foot tall vinyl fence. This fence is located on the street-side property line and exceeds the allowed four-foot height limit for fences in street-side setback areas by two feet. The request is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, the project would involve work related to fence installation and potentially site adjustments to meet setback requirements. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors specializing in fencing, site preparation, and potentially concrete work, as well as suppliers of fencing materials. Reaching out now could allow businesses to engage before final plans and permits are issued.
