New Fence with Trellis
On behalf of the Planning Division, I have reviewed the above building permit application. During
review of the subject submittal, it was found that the following information, corrections, or clarifications
need to be addressed. Please respond to the following items, so that I can complete my review:
1. Fence Trellis: Pursuant to ECDC 17.30.035(C)(1): A trellis up to two additional feet in height to
a maximum of eight feet may be added as a decorative element to a fence so long as the
combined length of the trellis(es) constructed facing a property line do not exceed 25 percent of
the total length of that property line. ECDC 17.30.035.A defines lattice and trellis as follows:
"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.
"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.
Additionally, a trellis may be added as a decorative element to a fence facing a street, alley,
or access easement so long as the trellis remains free of any plantings, vegetation, or other
visual obstruction.
The application and site plan do not specify where the additional trellis will be added to the
fence. Please revise and resubmit your plans to address the 25 percent allowance and location
of the proposed trellis.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 425.771.0220 ext. 1372.
Please make all submittals to a Development Services Permit Coordinator, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,
and Friday between 8:00 am 4:30 pm, or Wednesday 8:30 am to 12:00 pm.
