BY-LAW SECTION & REQUIREMENT |
|
Rear yard
|
West side of property, rear yard. Fence between numbers 44 and 42 Glenallan Rd.
|
New wooden board on board fence will form part of a swimming pool enclosure – the pool being located in the rear yard of number 44. There is a varying difference in grade between the properties. The proposed fence would be 2.0 metres in height at the south-west corner on the boundary between the two houses where the grade is similar (adjacent to the driveway of number 42), and rising to 3.0 metres high from grade on the side of number 44. Because of the change in grade between the two properties this would mean the fence when viewed from number 42 would be 2.0 metres at the property line adjacent to Glenallan Rd, graduated to a constant 1.5 metres following the line of their driveway.
|
Chapter 447–1.2.B(1) – Fence height.
|
|
Rear Yard & Side Yard |
Fence in south-west corner of property. |
Proposed fence within 2.4 metres of the driveway of number 42 Glenallan Rd would not be an open mesh chain-link fence or of an equivalent open-fence construction for at least 2.4 metres from the lot line at which the driveway begins so as not to obstruct the view of the boulevard or highway. |
Chapter 447 – 1.2.C - Open-fence construction required. |
