Mr. <br />Hollander has noted other split rail fences that have <br />been constrLeted in his neighborhood in which the posts <br />are generally 4-1/2'-5' in height and cross bars are 4'- <br />5' in height. Mr. Hollander has requested to be allowed <br />to construct a similar fence and staff has indicated to <br />him that City code does not allow such construction. <br />Mr. Hollander stated that almost every split rail fence <br />in the City is in violation of the ordinance. He <br />suggested, rather than going after all these fence <br />violations, that the Council amend the ordinance to <br />al low split rail fences to be at 4-1 /2' in height; and <br />allow him to construct a split rail fence the same as <br />his neighbors'. He stated that depending on what the <br />city does regarding the enforcement of the fence height <br />violation, and by not allow him to have the same height <br />fence as his neighbors, he may have a discriminatory <br />action against the City. <br />10 <br />
