If you have thoughts on how tall rear fences in University Park should be, bring yourself and your thoughts to City Hall tomorrow. The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider a proposed amendment to the ordinance governing those fences’ heights. Curious about what exactly the ordinance says? Here it is.
(a) Any fence or wall constructed along the rear property line, where such property line adjoins an alley easement, shall not exceed eight feet (8′) in height.
(b) Any fence or wall constructed along any rear property line, not adjacent to an alley easement, shall not exceed eight feet (8′) in height.
(c) Every portion of a fence must be located a minimum of two feet (2′) away from the edge of the alley or on the rear property line, whichever is further away from the edge of the alley pavement.
