Greetings,

found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressed before the Planning
Division review can continue.
1.Elevations:
Please provide an elevation detail of the various fence designs proposedand include labels
showing the height/dimensions of various portions of the fence, trellis, and arbor. I’ve provided some
definitions from our fence code, below.
ECDC 17.30.035 Trellises and arbors.
A.Definitions. As used in this section, the referenced terms shall have the following definitions:
1.“Arbor” is a separate freestandingor attached structure that has a lattice roof and lattice walls or a
horizontal lattice work structure serving to roof a gate or entrance way.
2.“Lattice” and/or “lattice work” is a framework of cross wood or metal strips or a predominantly open
framework of wood or metal designed for decorative purposes or landscaping purposes.
3.“Predominantly open” refers to a lattice work or similar decorative pattern which is designed to permit
the free flow of light and air through the framework and which is designed primarily for decorative rather
than privacy or security purposes.
4.“Trellis” is a horizontal structure of open lattice work designed and intended to support the growth of
vines or other vegetation or a horizontal decorative element composed of lattice work which admits light
and air through a predominantly open design.
