Re: 650 Ranier Ave
REQUEST FOR SPECIAL FENCE PERMIT
(a) Permanent landscaping along the front of the fence
This site includes a 10’ grass strip between the existing perimeter fence and S 7th Street on the
southern side of the property. There are also trees planted in this area. The northwestern fence line
does not appear to have space for landscaping given the layout of the property.
(b) Quality fence material, such as cedar fencing
The fence material consists of 12.5-gauge galvanized steel wires suspended horizontally to a
height of 7’ and is located 4-8 inches inside/behind the existing perimeter fence per IEC and ANSI
standards.
(c) Modulation of the fence
Does not appear to be applicable to these perimeter security systems.
(d) Similar design and material as other fences in the surrounding neighborhood
This business has requested multiple locations be protected with this system including 150 SW 7th
St and 800 SW 16th Street.
(e) Increased setbacks from the adjacent sidewalk
The system will be approximately 180 feet from the street frontage.
(f) Ornamental materials or construction treatment, such as wrought iron
Ornamental fencing can be dressed with mesh to ensure apertures in the fence are not too large
per IEC and ANSI standards. Wrought iron specifically leaves enough space to reach through and
have potential incidental contact with the system. This project, however, will be installed behind
chain link fencing.
(g) Orientation of the finished face of the fence toward the street; and, Other comparable
construction or design methods
There is no “finished face” with this system so this should not apply.
Thank you,
