SaintCyr Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is there a set-back for a new fence? I'm along Yale and was wanting to put in a new fence along the sidewalk. Nothing taller than 4ft and it won't be an eyesore. I know the other fences that exist next door(s) are right up to the sidewalk but didnt know if there was a regulation in place knowing that they had been "lax" in past years. Thanks, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 depends on if that specific parcel is restricted. a trip to the county records could answer that quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, DNo setback requirement. However, if you put it on the city's ROW, it may get torn down when they repave Yale Street. Your survey should be useful in finding the property line. Or measure 35 feet from the center of Yale Street to find the edge of the ROW (have your friend hold the tape in the center of Yale). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintCyr Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Red, I thought about that as well, it being in the ROW when they do the construction BUT I found something interesting online the other day. You prolly recall everyone going around and around about them widening the street and maybe removing all those trees along Yale. I ran across a map, which I cannot find at this point, but it called for widening for sections before 11th and after 21st but not inbetween... Do you know what I'm talking about?

If your neighbors have fences, just put it even with theirs. Even if a street rebuild requires you to move the fence, they will not come rip it up. More likely, they will move it for you.
