Jeff Elman rear-yard fence variance (VAR 26-01)
Description
A homeowner wanted a taller back fence than the code allows, and got it.
Impact summary
If the City Commission agrees, Elman gets real privacy and noise relief along the busy commercial boundary; neighbors were told they'd each need their own applications for the same relief.

City Commission - May 26, 2026
A homeowner asked to raise a rear yard fence from the 6-foot maximum to 8 feet, and the commission said yes.
Planning and Zoning Board - May 5, 2026
Elman wants to replace part of his deteriorating rear fence with an 8-foot PVC privacy fence — 2 feet above the code's 6-foot limit — on about a 30-foot stretch backing up to the Teleperformance call center property. The board held a public hearing and a motion to recommend to the City Commission was entertained, but the recording doesn't capture a completed tally.
