The process is handled administratively and will take approximately twenty days. Zoning Administration is responsible for ensuring that all the above requirements have been met.
The applicant remits all fees, obtains a fence permit, and otherwise complies with all applicable city ordinances. Written notice is mailed to all adjacent property owners and no adjacent property owner has any objections to the fence being installed. The Department of Public Works determines that the fence or wall will not interfere with or impede traffic visibility. A landscaping plan is approved by the City Arborist, showing a five foot buffer yard that is installed and maintained with vegetation between the fence or wall and the public right-of-way. The fence or wall is constructed on or behind the building line established by the front line of the principal dwelling located on the lot. The fence must be constructed so that the finished side faces the street. The height of the fence or wall does not exceed six (6) feet. The Zoning Administrator can approve the issuance of a Special Exception permit for a fence or wall greater than four feet in height within the secondary front yard of a residential corner lot or through lot under the following conditions: Fences placed between a house and any street can not be taller than 4’ unless a Special Exception for fence height is approved. If a fence is proposed to be installed in a City Public Drainage and / or Impoundment Easement, submit an Owner Acknowledgement Form with the fence permit application.įences on residential properties can be a maximum of 6’ tall. In all other instances there is no requirement to face the “good side” out, although it is recommended.įences can be placed up to the property line unless there is an easement held by the City or private party. The “good side” of a fence must face outward on corner and through lots, and when protecting a pool. If erecting a fence to meet a pool barrier requirement, this would be a Building Fence, which may also be applied for via our eBuild system.
