G. STAFF SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow an existing

Planning Board · 2026-05-13 · agenda_item

The City of DeLand Planning Board is reviewing a request for a variance concerning a fence at a single-family residence. The fence, installed in 2005, is unpermitted and exceeds the maximum height allowed in the street-side setback area. The current property owner acquired the home in 2025 without knowledge of the unpermitted fence. The Planning Board will decide to grant, grant with conditions, or deny the variance request. This item is currently under review. If approved, the variance would allow the existing fence to remain, resolving a code enforcement case without requiring removal or relocation. This process involves a review of property surveys, aerial images, and surrounding properties. While this specific item does not involve new construction, it relates to property regulations and code compliance. Businesses involved in property surveying, legal services related to variances, and potentially fencing contractors who might be consulted for future compliant installations could find this information relevant. Early engagement with the process can provide insight into regulatory requirements for property improvements.
