Planning Board · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

A property owner is seeking a variance for an existing, unpermitted fence located at a corner lot on North Garfield Avenue and East Plymouth Avenue. The fence is currently taller than allowed in the street-side setback area and is needed for privacy and security due to its location at a busy intersection. The Planning Board is reviewing this request to allow the fence to remain without removal or relocation. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board, which may grant the variance with or without conditions. The scope of work would involve addressing code enforcement and potentially minor site adjustments related to the fence's placement. Contractors specializing in fencing, site preparation, and potentially legal or consulting services related to zoning variances could find opportunities. Engaging early before final decisions and permit approvals are issued offers the best chance to compete for any related work.
