The property is located at 6334 W Louise Drive in the Cholla District. We have had several break-in aƩempts to our property over the past two years by people going over our exisƟng wall adjacent to the park. With our safety in mind, we are requesƟng a variance to increase the maximum wall height to 8 feet where the maximum fence height of 6 feet per the R1-7 PRD (Single Residence) zoning for this property. The exisƟng walls will all be rebuilt, including the footer with an approved permit as the addiƟonal blocks cannot be added to the exisƟng 6-foot wall structurally. The walls will be built to meet the design guidelines of the HOA and City of Glendale. We are also requesƟng permission for the south wall double gate, the north wall singe gate, and the wrought iron fence along adjacent to the Lake easement, all marked on the site plan, height to be increased to be consistent with the proposed 8-foot block wall. The fence and gate material would remain the same. Our current wall, that is shared by the park to the east, is only 68” high. The east wall is 53’ long and the front and back walls are 28’ long. We are asking to have all three walls and the gates raised from 6 feet to 8 feet tall to deter anyone from jumping over our walls coming from the park that we are adjacent to. We have discussed our situaƟon with our HOA about buffering the wall along with park side for trees and they commented that I am not able to add any trees along my side of the wall. We asked this at one of their onsite meeƟngs with us at our house. The HOA said both verbally and in a leƩer that once I receive the variance from the City of Glendale to raise the wall, they will give their ok to build the new wall to 8 feet high. I have included a site plan with this leƩer for your review. You may write, email, or call using the contact informaƟon above or by contacƟng Joseline Castaneda for the City of Glendale at (623) 930-2823. Comments must be received by July 23, 2024.
