Re: Fence location at 1850 Live Oak Lane
Dear Colonel Shellenberger:
I have reviewed the information you have provided depicting the location of the split rail fence,
which extends around the corner of your lot, and encroaches into the public right -of-way. Based
upon information in City files, this fence has been in its current location since at least 1988. After
consulting with the Department of Public Safety and Fire Services, it is the position of the City that
the fence may remain its present position, with the exception of that portion of the fence located
closest to the fire hydrant. The fence must be “shortened” to provide a clear distance of six (6) feet
on either side of the fire hydrant. Additionally, any landscaping that interferes with clear visibility
of the fire hydrant should be trimmed or removed.
Please bear in mind that the fence remains in the right-of-way at your risk. Should the City need
access to this portion of the right-of-way for any reason, including road construction, utility work or
to provide emergency services, the fence may be removed by the City with no obligation to repair or
replace the fence. Feel free to contact me at (904) 247-5817 with any further questions.
Sincerely,
Sonya Doerr, AICP
