My purpose for writing this letter is to give the members of this board some insite into what is going on with the Codes Enforcement Division of Atlantic Beach. It would seem they pick and choose what is right and what is wrong and who should have to abide by the rules and who does not have to abide by the rules. I had a meeting on June 16, 2020 with the Code Enforcement Committee regarding a variance I filed on an 8 foot fence I installed in my back yard due the disgusting yard that is behind me I have enclosed pictures I told the Committee I installed the fence for privacy reasons and because no one would want to look at a disgusting yard like the one behind with gutters, etc sticking 9 feet in the air, rats coming into my yard and a house painted 5 different colors with a clothes line between the trees. While I realize that the 8 foot fence is not normal I do believe that I a justified in having it. I could never sell my house if someone saw what I have had to look at. I bought in this neighborhood because I was told it was up and coming, but that is not true The Code Enforcement has done nothing about the dumps that still exist in this area. The yard behind me has been this way since I bought the house in 2014 Code Enforcement tells me they cannot do anything about junk that cannot be seen above the fence. I know there is a property maintenance code as I have read it and they have been given pictures so that should be enough On top of that they denied my fence and told me I had to take it down to 6 feet. Now my neighbor has a 6 foot fence with two feet of lattice work on top so I asked if I could add that to put vines on it so I could block out the property behind me, yet I was told no. So explain to me how it is okay for him to have the lattice fence but not me and yes it can be seen from the road as it abuts my property in the front. No on ever showed to the meeting to fight my fence yet they denied it anyway I also brought letters from neighbors stating that they have no issue with the fence that my yard is gorgeous and I have increased their property values I gave them to the Committee they put them down and never read any of them. Four of my neighbors came over this week and told me they called about the meeting and asked if they could come and were told if they were arguing the fence being installed yes but if not no. My neighbors said they are all for leaving the fence up so they told them they could not come to the meeting. I ask you where is the justice there. Neighbors were 325 Royal Palms Drive and 738 Vecuna Road. My neighbors who wrote the favorable letters were at 320 Royal Palms Drive, 735 Vecuna Road and 325 Royal Palms Drive. So I put in a request to replace my fence in the front yard before all this happened The fence has been up since 2014 and they denied the request stating I could not put up 6 feet in the front yard As you look at my house on the right side the fence has always been 6 feet since I bought the house On the left side a portion was 4 feet but in 2016 I raised that section to 6 feet because I felt threatened by my neighbors who are renters They mouth off referring to me as a whittie and they congregate in the yards (6 - 8 of them at a time) The police have been called by several neighbors but it continues so no I dont feel safe. My point to all of this is that I have seen 8 foot fences throughout Atlantic Beach and the lattice work fence has been up next door to me since 2013 so why if he can do it why cant I and no one has made him remove it. As I stated earlier there is no uniformity at all for they do what they do or reject 3 of 4 7/22/2020, 4:21 PM Firefox https://outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADJmZmMO... requests. It is so bad that my neighbors are moving because of this issue because new peopled coming in cannot do anything to improve these properties and it takes forever to get any approvals. I see my neighbor who has had a tarp on her house for two years on Vecuna Road and nothing has been done. 742 Vecuna is a total dump yard and nothing has been done, house on the corner or Royal Palms and Triton Road yard is a total dump and nothing has been done and then there is the house on Royal Palms Driver with the entire back yard filled with tents up and 8 cars in the yard. All of these issues are overlooked I have improved my property and spent a great deal of money on it and they continue to deny, deny. While I realize an 8 foot fence is not the norm (but I have seen many of them around here) my reason for doing it seems justified. I ask that perhaps I might get some assistance with this so I can just live a quiet life and continue on If not, I will probably sell my house as well because I cannot live in filth and look at it everyday. I told Code Enforcement I have no problem taking the back fence down to 6 feet if I can put up the lattice but I do have a problem taking down at 6 foot fence that was here when I moved in and noting has been said about it for 6 years and now they are noticing it I mean really As far as taking the small section to 4 feet in the front yard I really would not feel safe as then they can look right into my yard and I live alone plus there are banana trees that really block the fence That fence has also been up since 2016 and they are just noticing it now. Again, I ask where is the justice in this when this part of town is filled with problems that they are not addressing. My neighbors have not complained at all the fence. If they have of read the letters I brought with me instead of discarding them as not important perhaps they would have seen this. I am asking for your assistance on some level to help me. Thank you for your time I appreciate it I am sending photos to follow of the back yard that backs up to my property where I installed the 8 Foot fence 4 of 4 7/22/2020, 4:21 PM uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu oou000ul 1111 1111111' f i 1111 11111111 1111111 11111111 1111111111111 N�Ill ul1111) i i 111111111, 1��III `�� 111111111111111 �Vrr�,y �11111111i h��Illlllllllllllllm�ui N�II� uuu ,,, II Ilfiii�111111111111�111111� p°°� Ill�lil��m�wvvv�,' "Iii id um�111 ro 11111��1°��IA� M IIW llo Y ,III Iilll�llll��l�'I�l ;p` 4��IIIIIIIIIVjIlhi�iiIINIIN��;;gIIIINIII,Ij '�' t ilmluwid rl, i dIlN�lilowi i1IIlll000 rn`\ SAM IVI�rll;';q �1111n i JAmI V (hII a n0�o' 1411�NIIII �IhuIPo 4.
