The Greater Bustleton Civic League considered a proposed variance for a property at 898 Morefield Road.
The property has a 6-foot fence along Verree Road and in the rear and a 4-foot fence on Morefield.
An attorney for the Abraham family said they bought the house in 2020 and erected the fencing in 2021.
The issues are the height of the fence, that it is opaque and the short setback from the sidewalk.
Neighbors also said the 6-foot fence makes it hard for Morefield Road motorists to see vehicles on Verree Road.
The Abrahams erected the fence after a miscommunication in a phone call with the city.
At the 28 meeting, Firefighter Leo Maysonet discussed fire safety.
Author summary: Civic league rejects fence variance due to height and opacity issues.
