This request is being made because on October 09,2012, I requested for an Architectural Change of my property through my HOA and this request was approved, Notice of Decision #5850054. I made this request because of my occupation as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer and for family privacy/safety reasons and had the perimeter fence built securing the rear of my property, plea se see diagram. On August 09, 2013 I received a Warning of Violation regarding the fence. This request for a Special Fence Permit is being made because my fence is eligible for a special permit. am justifying this request because my fence meets certain criterion's outlined in #2 of the submittal requirements form. These requirements are: though the fence is over 4 feet tali , it does not exceed 6 feet in height. The fence is made of quality fence material, Cedar wood fencing, and is similar in design and material to other fences in the surrounding neighborhood. Lastly, th e orientation of the finished face of the fence toward the street does not affect the "Clear v ision area" for visibility and safety purposes. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
