Remember the old movies, where kids (Leave it to Beaver) would skip along on the sidewalk with a stick against the picket fences???? Why don't cities (at least my city) allow this.
Our ordinance says that fences and walls exceeding 36" in height must be set back 15 feet from any property line fronting on a public street.
Those nice picket fences in those movies were a little over 3' weren't they? Why would anyone want a fence in the middle of their front yard and have to mow on each side of it.....looks dumb. Maybe that is the reason we have this regulation......to talk people out of putting up fences to close themselves off from the rest of the world.........I don't know.....it's friday and I was just reviewing some changes we made to our ordinance and stopped to think about the rationale behind this reg.
