FENCES AND HEDGES.... PRIVATE PROPERTY!

PRIVATE PROPERTY!

Our lots are among the smallest in the city and I do not want to donate one square inch to the city for its idea of what is politically correct. The safety issue can easily be accommodated by having a locked gate with a city issued lock that would permit emergency personnel quick and easy access. Good fences make good neighbors. I want the option of privacy without the city demanding that my property be on view to any passers by. In Europe many beautiful neighborhoods have high front fences, but with wonderful winding sidewalks and attractive streetscapes maintained by the home owners. We do not need the cookie cutter mentality of city planners to extend onto our PRIVATE PROPERTY!
