Dear Mr. Dean,
The City has received a complaint that a fence has been built within 10 feet of the right-of-way
without a permit and may be over 6 feet tall at the subject property.
Please find enclosed the City of Edmonds handout on fences. The following extracted code
sections in the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) would apply to the fence (bold
added):
ECDC 17.30.000 General.
A. A fence permit shall be required for any fence over three feet in height which is also
within 10 feet of any street right-of-way or access easement or within 30 feet of any corner.
Height shall be measured from the top of the fence to the lowest original grade.
B. A fence permit shall be required for any fence within a critical area or its buffer.
C. Unless a variance is first obtained, no fence shall be more than six feet in height as measured
from the top of the fence to the lowest original grade.
Corrective options:
Please make a complete application for a fence permit at your earliest convenience by
·
November 6, 2008 or;
Reduce any height within 10 feet of the right-of-way to a maximum of 3 feet in height
·
and demonstrate through inspection that the remainder of the fence does not exceed 6 feet
in height.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
Code Enforcement Inspector
