Mr. Fisher,

My name is SheriLinn Whitman, I am the home owner of 606 S Taylor Ct. I spoke with you last year, late summer early fall, in regards to a fence I wanted to install and how I would be impacted by the flag lots going in behind my house. Originally I was told by Nicholas Lennartz that the fence rules for a road intersection would also apply to the rear of my property because of the flag driveway on the entire west side of my property. He eventually sent me an email saying it was not the case and I was clear to build the fence.

I stopped by when I was beginning to plan my fence and spoke with you as Nicholas was no longer with the city. I bring this up to hopefully jog your memory. My primary concern and need for the fence is because of my dog, now dogs, a short fence will not contain them. It was imperative to me that I knew exactly what I could do and what I couldn’t do. I had the complete understanding from you that I could install a 6 foot high fence along the west and north property lines. I understood the corner “line of sight” visibility restrictions applied the east and north sides where Taylor Ct intersects 6th street.

I received a code enforcement door tag today. It was issued by Brenden (503) 759-0243 and he wrote on it that there is a code issue with my fence the following is what was handwritten down. “New fence - 20x20 corner by flag driveway - keep 42” or less so they can see to get in & out of driveway. Thanks”

I started installing my 6 foot high fence last fall, posts are set. You might recall when we spoke I was very concerned and upset after Nicholas told me I had to follow the same 20x20 triangle rules as if it was a true street intersection. This code enforcement door tag says that exact same thing “20x20 triangle maximum height of fence 3 feet 6 inches”.

I am really hoping this is a misinterpretation of the code on Brenden’s part. Will you please get back with me and let me know where I stand with the height of my fence.

Thank you,

SheriLinn Whitman
