Board Approves Variance for Fence atop Retaining Wall at Myrna Shores
The Planning and Zoning Board considered a variance request (V-0006-2026) for Myrna Shores to allow a three-foot-tall picket-style fence to be located on top of a proposed retaining wall. The property, zoned R4 and located on the west side of South Atlantic Avenue, requires a retaining wall due to elevation changes and stormwater management needs. The Board discussed the criteria for variances, including special circumstances, reasonable rights, self-created hardship, public welfare, and special privilege. After extensive discussion on the design, stormwater system, and impact on neighbors, the Board voted to approve the variance with six votes in favor and one opposed.

The property owner requested to change the future land use category from Blucher County Urban Low Intensity to city low density residential and the zoning designation from Blucher County R4 to city R2. The Planning Department recommended approval, and the Board voted to recommend approval to the City Commission.
