The 30-second read

Record incomplete

The Lynn Haven Board of Adjustment is reviewing a request from homeowner Joshua David Cruse to allow an 8-foot front yard fence, exceeding the city's 4-foot limit. The application follows a code enforcement action regarding unauthorized fencing installed on both the private property and an adjacent city-owned stormwater pond.

Why it matters

The Board's decision will determine whether the property owner can maintain a fence height that deviates from city code, setting a precedent for property standards in the Millpoint Landing subdivision.

Summary of Request and Background Information

0.27 $ \\pm $acres

The applicant is requesting a variance from the requirements of the City's Unified Land Development Code, ULDC Section 5.01.06 Fences, Hedges, and Walls, specifically the requirement for front yard fence maximum height of four feet (4 ft).

Additional Information

On June 12th Code Enforcement contacted the Planning Department for the maximum front yard fence height as they had received a complaint that fencing was being installed along the front of the property that was more than four feet (4') in height, and along a City stormwater pond. Mr. Baker, Chief Infrastructure Director informed Code Enforcement that the stormwater pond belongs to the City, and the City did not want fencing installed on it. The property owner was notified to stop the fencing for the front yard, and to stop the fencing along the City stormwater pond.

* * *

The Millpoint Landing HOA documents, page 14 section twenty-three indicates fencing shall be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee. The City did not receive a copy of the approval.

At the June 24, 2025 City Commission meeting, Commissioner Tinder made a statement during her report regarding the camera concerns for the property owner at 118 Cashel Mara Drive.
