Although I was out of the country for ten weeks beginning in September and ending in the middle of November 2002, I read that a Public Hearing was held as long ago as early May 2002. I just hope it is not too late for you to at least consider the points I will try to make. I too have noticed so many solid board fences in Renton (many of them apparently new) that are six-feet in height along front and side yards adjacent to streets that I believed were nonconforming. While I understand the yearning for privacy, this objective often causes home owners to overlook today's need for security. For this reason, I prefer a chain link fence - neighbors and police have much more opportunity to observe threats to a resident's security and, even when tall, they are neighbor friendly. A balance between privacy and security of course can be achieved with a four-foot solid board fence or a six-foot fence with spaces between the pickets. I feel sure that the`Renton Police Department must have been consulted and took the.opportunity to contribute to code revisions. So far as screening is concerned, I would hope that none is required for a chain link fence or for board fences with spaces between the boards, because this would negate the security provided by such fences. Tall solid board fences are sufficiently ugly to require screening without security degradation. You should see the picture of the view out our kitchen window imposed upon us by the Homeowners Declaration. The Homeowners Association first provided incorrect definition for fence location, encouraged early construction of side yard fences, and then refused to consider other types of side yard fences even though the Declarations allowed such consideration. My preference is, of course, for hard and fast rules for all requirements for anything, if it is at all possible to define alternatives that may be applied to achieve the result intended. Unique handling of requirements by using such things as a "Special Administrative Fence Permit" can too easily become tools for special privilege, granted to some but not others. They can also allow those who disregarded requirements to have pre-existing conditions approved that others coming later cannot duplicate, which is obviously inequitable. Ages ago, I missed the opportunity to comment on rolled curbs. Although I don't know whether or not you approved them, I should add that they are a convenience for Contractors during construction, but encourage sloppy driving habits that forever-after endanger children playing on sidewalks.

In conclusion,Mr. Zimmerman reported that the three concerned agencies are close to reaching an agreement on the matter. At the request of Ms. Keolker-Wheeler,Community Services Administrator Jim Shepherd reported that an estimated 11,481 people visited Philip Arnold Park in 2002. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler inquired as to whether the Falcon Ridge and Heritage Hills Homeowners Associations should contribute to the maintenance of the right-of-way since it is the secondary access point for both developments. Mr. Zimmerman explained that the maintenance costs are not high due to the low- quality pavement on the right-of-way,and staff has not addressed the issue of homeowner association maintenance contributions because the costs are marginal.

MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Development Services: Fence Past Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Height Regulations report regarding the maximum residential fence height regulations. The Committee met to review and discuss potential revisions to the maximum residential fence height regulations established in City Code Title IV (Development Regulations). Currently,City Code limits the height of residential fences to a maximum of four feet when located adjacent to a public street. The Committee met in April to discuss possible changes to the fence height regulations. The Committee recommended that a public hearing be conducted,which occurred on May 6, 2002. Committee members subsequently toured several residential neighborhoods in November and directed staff to address setback, landscaping and fencing material requirements. Staff has drafted revised fence standards, which would allow residents to apply for a Special Administrative Fence Permit in order to construct six-foot high fences when located within a front yard or side yard along a street setback. The permits would be issued on a case-by-case basis provided the applicant demonstrates the fence is constructed with appropriate fencing material;the fence is sufficiently screened;and the finished side of the fence is oriented toward the streetscape.* At the request of Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler,Associate Planner Jason Jordan provided a briefing on this matter. He explained that there are many different types of fences,both conforming and non-conforming,throughout Renton. He reviewed the current regulations,and stated that in their review of the issue, the Planning and Development Committee considered privacy, safety, fence treatment, and setbacks with and without landscaping. Mr. Jordan concluded by saying that the recommendation is to change the residential fence January 6,2003 Renton CityCouncil Minutes '+w+' Page 7 " height regulations,and allow the Development Services Division to approve Special Administrative Fence Permits. *MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Councilman Corman's concerns about sight distance safety,Ms. Keolker-Wheeler emphasized that safety will be taken into account when each individual situation is reviewed.

Responding to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry regarding prior non-conforming fences,Mr.Jordan stated that those with non-conforming fences can apply for the Special Administrative Fence Permit. In response to Councilman Clawson's question,Ms. Keolker-Wheeler confirmed that the Committee reviewed existing sight distance standards. She noted that the fence height standard can be changed only if it meets the criteria as required by the Special Administrative Fence Permit. *MOTION CARRIED.

This issue will be addressed during the 2003 Comprehensive Plan update. 2) Urban Design and Streetscape Design. This issue will be addressed through the discussion of the community design policies during the Comprehensive Plan update.

This issue will be addressed during the review of downtown policies and the City Council gave direction to expand the length of the pedestrian corridor. The issue will be taken up during the 2003 Title IV(Development Regulations)docket review. 4) Automall Amenities Package. This issue was to be a future phase of the Automall relying on private investment based on public guidelines. The standards are adopted in City Code. Additional phases will require a new work program. 5) Neighborhood Identify.

Should there be 6-foot high fences on side yards, next to the street? 2. Should there be 42-inch high fences on side yards, next to the street? 3. Should there be safety and visibility considerations in fence height, and fence distance, from a driveway? Suggestions; A. Side yard fences next to the street should not be within 60 feet of a driveway. B. Side yard fences next to the street should be no higher than 42-inches. C. Side yard fences next to the street should be at least 20 feet in-bound from the curb. D. If an accident did occur because of a short visibility distance, and not enough response time, then the City of Renton and I would be liable.

Look at the upper portion of the stop sign. 2. Right-Top Photo: What a bicycle rider, rollerblader, skate boarder or runner sees of my driveway when they are at the end of the fence. There is a 25-foot distance from the end of the fence to my driveway. A bicyclist or rollerblader traveling 10 mph, covers the 25-feet in 1.7 seconds. 3. Left-Middle Photo: A sidewalk view of the fence. The 6-foot fence blocks out most of the front of my home, my front yard, and driveway. 4. Right— Middle Photo: The distance from the end of the fence, to the edge of my driveway, is 25-feet. A bicyclist or rollerblader traveling 10 mph, covers the 25-feet in 1.7 seconds. 5.

H:\DIVISION.S\DEVELOP.SER\DEV&PLAN.INGUej\agenda bills\fence height agenda bill.dot/ CITY OF RENTON PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM DATE: March 7,2002 TO: Toni Nelson, Council President Members of the Council VIA: ccoifr Jesse Tanner,Mayor�� FROM: Gregg Zimmerm ; dministrator STAFF CONTACT: Jason E.Jordan(x7219) SUBJECT: Maximum Fence Heights in Residential Zones ISSUE Fences in residential zones are limited to 48-inches (4 feet) in height when they are located directly adjacent to a public street (for example in front yards or side yards along a street). Otherwise, fences in residential zones are allowed to be 72-inches (6 feet) in height. Residents throughout the City have commented that there is substantial inequity with respect to permitted fence heights and that the varying heights are somewhat confusing to interpret. RECOMMENDATION All residential fences should be allowed to be 72-inches (6 feet) in height regardless of their proximity to a public street, with the exception of the area on corner lots where fences can obstruct views for other streets or alleys that may intersect with a public street. This "clear vision area" is defined as the first 20 feet of property on a corner lot that is located directly adjacent to the street intersection. Currently, the maximum fence height in the "clear vision area" is limited to 42-inches (3.5 feet). Staff does not recommend changing the maximum fence height allowed within this area. Staff recommends referring this issue to the Planning & Development Committee, to consider amendments to the fence regulations within Title IV of the City's Municipal Code. The amendment should be structured so that the maximum fence height is 6 feet regardless of the fences proximity to a public street,except for the"clear vision area." BACKGROUND In response to a complaint filed by a neighbor, City staff has initiated a Code Enforcement Action against a property owner who has a 6-foot high fence that was constructed within a side yard along a public street(see attached photos). Current code requirements limit fence heights to 4 feet when they are located directly adjacent to a public street; therefore, the fence in question was determined to be in violation of the code. When the property owner was notified that their fence exceeded the maximum allowed fence height, they in turn, filed a complaint against other H:'DIVISION.SOEVELOP.SER\DEV&PLAN.INGVej\issue papers\fence issue paper.doc\st property owners in the same area who have also violated the maximum fence height of 4 feet when located directly adjacent to a public street. As a result of these actions, Code Enforcement staff performed multiple site investigations and determined that the fences in question were in violation of the maximum height allowed; however, the fences did not violate the "clear vision area." Nevertheless, Code Enforcement staff is now inundated with fence height enforcement cases. This issue presents staff with several options. The first option is to continue responding to complaints as they are filed with the City. Option Two is to instruct Code Enforcement Officers to proactively pursue property owners who violate the maximum fence height as established by current City Code. The Third option, which is preferred by staff, is to amend the maximum fence height requirements for fences located directly adjacent to a public street. This option would necessitate a code amendment to the regulations establishing the maximum fence height regulations (located within Title IV of the City's Municipal Code). It is staffs opinion that by allowing a 6-foot high fence along all property lines, except for the portions of the fence located within the "clear vision area," a more equitable and understandable fence height regulation would be provided to property owners. Residential fences within the City are not subject to building permit review; therefore, this amendment would also provide residents with a less confusing maximum fence height regulation. Lastly, amending the fence regulations would also provide Code Enforcement staff with a clear directive as to the Council's intent behind the maximum fence height standards as established by code. CONCLUSION If an amendment to the maximum fence height regulations was approved by Council, staff believes this scenario would provide property owners with a more equitable, understandable and enforceable fence height regulation. The amendment would establish a maximum height of 6 feet for all portions of the fence except for "clear vision areas," while maintaining the sight distance needed for safe vehicular and pedestrian maneuvering. cc: Neil Watts Jennifer Henning H:1DIVISION.S\DEVELOP.SER\DEV&PLAN.INGUej\issue papers\fence issue paper.doc\st *4410 4-4-040FENCES AND HEDGES: A.

Grade Differences: Where the finished grade is a different elevation on either side of a fence the height may be measured from the side having the highest elevation. 4. City May Require Modification: Where a traffic vision hazard is created,the City may require a modification to the height limitations and location of fences,hedges or walls to the degree necessary to eliminate the hazard.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Development Services: Fence accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Height Regulations to consider potential revisions to the maximum residential fence height regulations established in Title 4 of Renton City Code. Jason Jordan,Associate Planner, outlined the current fence height regulations for interior and corner lots, and reviewed the definition of the clear vision area as the area bounded by the street property lines of corner lots and a line joining points along said street lines 20 feet from their point of intersection. He pointed out that the maximum fence height in the clear vision area is 42 inches. lylay 6,2002 — Renton City Council Minutes `"? Page 159 Reporting that the City has received numerous fence height violation complaints,Mr. Jordan stated that residents have asked for clarity and equity within the fence height regulations. Continuing,Mr.Jordan stated that staff recommends amending the maximum residential fence height regulations to allow fences up to a maximum height of 72 inches,except for portions of the fences located within the clear vision area, regardless of their proximity to a public street. He concluded by saying that residential fences are not subject to building permit review;therefore, the revisions would provide residents with regulations that are more equitable and understandable. The revisions would also provide City code enforcement staff with more easily enforceable maximum fence height regulations. Responding to Councilwoman Briere's inquiry,Mr. Jordan confirmed that the proposed 72-inch residential maximum fence height applies everywhere except for clear vision areas. He noted that a special administrative fence permit is needed to allow 72-inch high fences along an arterial street. Mayor Tanner recommended that Council approve revising City Code to allow fence heights up to 72 inches except in the clear vision areas. Audience comment was invited. Terry Sullivan, (mailing address) 1420 NW Gilman Blvd.,#2151,Issaquah, 98027, stated that he lives in the Orchards development in Renton and expressed his concern that nearby 72-inch high fences create a hazard when he backs out of his driveway. He said that he is not against allowing 72-inch high fences; however,care needs to be taken as to where they are allowed and not allowed. Mr. Sullivan reviewed the issues that concern him regarding the fence heights, including the safety and visibility considerations of the fence height and distance from driveways. Mr. Sullivan displayed photographs depicting different views of his driveway and the street showing the limited sight distance as a result of neighboring fences. He expressed his concern for the safety of bicyclists,rollerbladers and others because of the limited sight distances created by high fences. Responding to Mr. Sullivan's comment about enforcement of the clear vision areas,City Attorney Larry Warren stated that the City has police power to enforce clear vision area regulations when public safety is involved. Councilman Corman suggested that the City consider applying clear vision area regulations to driveways as well as to streets. Continuing,Mr. Sullivan showed a diagram of his home and driveway,and his neighbor's fence line. He suggested that the City reconsider the side yard heights, and phrase the ordinance so that clear vision area issues are addressed in order to ensure public safety. Mayor Tanner assured Mr. Sullivan that public safety is the City's primary concern,and reiterated his recommendation to permit 72-inch high fences as long as sight distance is not impaired. Mayor Tanner stated that this matter has been referred to Planning and Development Committee,and he asked that Mr. Sullivan be notified when the Committee is scheduled to discuss it. There being no further audience comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY PERSSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Otherwise, fences in residential zones are allowed to be 72-inches (6 feet) in height. Residents throughout the City have commented that there is substantial inequity with respect to permitted fence heights and that the varying heights are somewhat confusing to interpret. BACKGROUND/OPTIONS SUMMARY: In response to a complaint filed by a neighbor, City staff has initiated a Code Enforcement Action against a property owner who has a 6-foot high fence that was constructed within a side yard along a public street. Current code requirements limit fence heights to 4 feet when they are located directly adjacent to a public street; therefore, the fence in question was determined to be in violation of the code. When the property owner was notified that their fence exceeded the maximum allowed fence height, they in turn, filed a complaint against other property owners in the same area who have also violated the maximum fence height of 4 feet when located directly adjacent to a public street. As a result of these actions, Code Enforcement staff performed multiple site investigations and determined that the fences in question were in violation of the maximum height allowed; however, the fences did not violate the "clear vision area." Nevertheless,Code Enforcement staff is now inundated with fence height enforcement cases. This issue presents staff with several options. The first option is to continue responding to complaints as they are filed with the City. Option Two is to instruct Code Enforcement Officers to proactively pursue property owners who violate the maximum fence height as established by current City Code. The Third option, which is preferred by staff, is to amend the maximum fence height requirements for fences located directly adjacent to a public street. This option would necessitate a code amendment to the regulations establishing the maximum fence height regulations (located within Title IV of the City's Municipal Code). It is staffs opinion that by allowing a 6-foot high fence along all property lines,except for the portions of the fence located within the "clear vision area," a more equitable and understandable fence height regulation would be provided to property owners. Residential fences within the City are not subject to building permit review; therefore, this amendment would also provide residents with a less confusing maximum fence height regulation. Lastly, amending the fence regulations would also provide Code Enforcement staff with a clear directive as to the Council's intent behind the maximum fence height standards as established by code. RECOMMENDATION: The Development Services Division is recommending to amend the maximum fence height regulations to six feet in all locations,except when located within the clear vision area. tJ 0 4) 401,) c E • r4 r=1 an) (1, • >C . . . cz1 1 bA • • - bA N Oct a O N •v• 4 Mr; I a) +.••: utl) •7 !al) CI) • I . ....
