above the center line grade of any adjaccnt street if within fiftcen (15) feet of any intersection traveled roadway. . However, Section 6.C.2.c states that on comer lots, nothing shall be placed or allowed to grow in such a manner as to impede vision between a height of two and one-half and ten feet above the center line grades of the intersecting streets within fifteen feet of the intersecting street rights-of-way. Measuring from the right-of-way, as opposed to the intcrsection as stated above, would provide a greater sight line. Staffs interpretation is that the more stringent standard of measuring from the right-of-way would apply. Proposal: The fence will be twenty feet from the edge of the intersection. The portion of thc fcnce along Lexington A venue will bc close to the lot line. Although the proposed fcnce may be meeting the basic requirements for maintaining sightlincs, the fence in this application would be closer to the intersection than the reccntly approved fence at 1104 Amble Drive (PC# 06-017). In PC 06-017, the fence bcgins to angle into the property from Lexington A venue approximately twenty feet from the front corner lot line or right-of-way. In this plaJ1Jling case, the applicant is proposing to have the fence angle into the property from Lexington Avenue approximately twenty feet from the edge of the intersection. To maintain consistcncy with Planning Case 06- 017 and to more adequately protect sightlines, Staff recommends that the fence be constructed no closer than twenty feet to the lot line comer that is near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Amble Drive. 2.
