Leaves in the street create hazards for cyclists, clog storm drains, and may lead to flooding. It's a city code violation that could result in a fine. Use the free leaf recycling event, now through November 8.
All fences require a building permit.
Permit procedures on fences for residential properties differ from those for commercial and industrial properties. In all residential districts, all swimming and wading pools with a depth of 24 inches or greater shall be fully enclosed by a fence not less than 48 inches in height and shall be constructed in a manner to prohibit entry. Fences are required to be separated from sidewalks and public right of way by a minimum of 2 feet. Fences over 7' tall require stamped engineered drawings.
A detailed site plan showing where the fence is to be placed on the lot in relation to property lines and the house. Site plans should also indicate fence height, linear feet, elevations, north arrow, post depth, and type of materials.
Site plans can also be hand-drawn, but must be legible and to scale.
