Re: Fence Exception Application
File No: PLN2008-18 -1234 Colleen Way
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Cox,
Thank you for your submittal of a Fence Exception application for a seven foot high
fence (one foot retaining wall, five foot solid wood and one foot of lattice) along the rear
portion of the street yard adjacent to the sidewalk along La V onne Drive.
After the ten-day public comment period, the Acting Community Development
Director, upon a recommendation from the City Engineer under the authority of the
Director of Public Works, has denied your request for a fence exception to allow a street
side yard fence to be placed on the property line where a five foot setback is required by
City Ordinance. The Acting Community Development Director's decision is based upon
the following findings:
1) The change would impair pedestrian safety by limiting the effective width of the
sidewalk;
2) Would not result in a more desirable site layout than permitted if a 5 foot setback
was provided;
3) Would be detrimental to the safety of persons residing in the neighborhood; and
4) Would be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood.
This action is effective in ten calendar days, unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk
including a $100.00 appeal filing fee by 5:00 p.m. on April 21, 2008.
