589 Levy Road 04.24.2006 (Fence)Mr. Blaudow-
I have received your package and looked it over. To install a 6-foot fence along the Levy Road property line, which is the Required Side Yard, (or less than 10-feet from it) would require
approval of a Zoning Variance from the below Sec. 24-157. Allowable Height of Fences and Walls. (b) and (c). (Section 24-156 does not apply to fences.)
I have attached a copy of the Zoning Variance application form with instructions. The next meeting of the Community Development Board is Tuesday, May 16th, and the application must
be filed by the end of the day on Monday, May 1st.
Sec. 24-157. Allowable Height of Fences and Walls.
(a) Within Required Front Yards, the maximum height of any Fence or wall shall be four (4) feet.
(b) Within Required Side or Rear Yards, the maximum height of any Fence or wall shall be six (6) feet.
(c) On Corner Lots, no fence, wall or Landscaping, exceeding four (4) feet in height, shall be allowed within ten (10) feet of any Lot Line which abuts a Street, provided however, that
clear vehicular and pedestrian sight distance shall be maintained at any Street intersection.
(d) The height of fences and walls shall be measured from grade to the top of the Fence or wall. Where a Fence or wall is erected at the junction of properties with varying elevations,
the height of the Fence or wall shall be measured from the side with the lowest elevation. The use of dirt, sand, rocks or similar materials to elevate the height of a Fence or wall
on a mound is prohibited.
(e) The maximum height of retaining walls on any Lot is four (4) feet. A minimum of forty (40) feet shall separate retaining walls designed to add cumulative height or increase site
elevation.

Ms. Doerr,
Friday I sent you a UPS pouch with a letter and pictures regarding our rejected request for a building permit to add a 6' chain link fence and gates around our business parking area.
You should receive the letter today or tomorrow.
At the office they told me that that you preferred e-mail. I prefer e-mail too, but I did not want to overload your e-mail by sending huge pictures.
If you would like the pictures or letter sent via e-mail, then I can e-mail them to you right away.
As I said in the letter, if we need to provide you with more information or fill out forms to apply for an exception for a 2' higher fence since we are an (ILW) property, then please
let me know and we will get that returned to you as quickly as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Todd Blaudow
