Franklin: <br /> <br />the right-of-way. The right-of-way <br />is City property. Isn't that the <br />case? So, those fences are being <br />built on City property. Correct? <br /> <br />Correct. We have, for some time, <br />been explaining to home owners who <br />are installing fences, where on <br />their plan the right-of-way and the <br />sidewalk should be. <br /> <br />Susan Stein, 802 W. Dahlia Court, Louisville, CO. <br /> <br />Stein: <br /> <br />On the site plan, if this is my <br />property line, then my fence would <br />have to be about 11 ft. back. This <br />does not coincide with what is <br />stated as the City's right-of-way. <br />When I looked for property <br />boundaries, I could only find pins <br />in the sidewalk for my back property <br />line, which is actually the east <br />property border. Also, the south <br />property border with a pin in the <br />sidewalk in the front of my house. <br /> <br />Lathrop: <br /> <br />Irrespective of where the exact <br />property line is physically, the <br />question is should fences be allowed <br />in the right-of-way? In this <br />particular case, it's so close to <br />the sidewalk that it (INAUDIBLE) <br />several problems. One is safety, <br />being across from an elementary <br />school (INAUDIBLE). As the posts <br />are set now, it's exactly 2 ft. from <br />the concrete. I have a difficult <br />time finding the justification <br />allowing a fence to encroach in the <br />right-of-way to such a degree as <br />this one does. The problem is <br />safety, snow removal, and just a <br />child riding his bicycle on the <br />sidewalk, being so close to a 6 ft. <br />fence. It's clear from the building <br />permit and the site development plan <br />that you must have had some <br />knowledge that you weren't on your <br />property. To ask the City to <br />rectify something that you had total <br />control of, I have a difficult time <br />with. I called Mr. Franklin today <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
