I support the homeowner's appeal. I live nearby on Donner Way and have admired the fence from the time it was under construction. It is well crafted, carefully built, and an attractive byway for the many walkers in our neighborhood. Indeed, the whole property is an excellent example of how an over one hundred year old home can be re-envisioned for today's world.
I am writing in support of the homeowner being able to keep their fence as constructed. I live very close to this home, and have frequently admired the fence on my walks. It is well built, and fits in well with this home and the surrounding community. It appears no taller than other fences in the area. I see no reason for this beautiful fence to be altered.
I am disheartened and appalled by what seems to be an arbitrary decision made in haste in regard to this wonderful fence. I see this fence daily, it is attractive and well built. The short street ( 27th Street) consisting of end houses on 3 short blocks has three 8” fences that are nowhere near as esthetically pleasing as this fence. The other 8” fences also completely block the backyards which this one does not.
In addition one of the complaints was lodged by someone with an even higher fence covered in shrubs. The whole issue is extremely disturbing especially in a neighborhood that otherwise welcomes unique expressions of housing and yard decorations including a house that is covered in mosaics. There is nothing that stands out about this fence other than the beautiful structure
This fence is a fine addition to the neighborhood and in keeping with so many other fences in the area. We're new to the neighborhood and appreciate the excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout Curtis Park. The craftsmanship and attention to detail of this fence contributes to that overall quality. We would like it to remain as is.
The fence in question is a perfectly lovely fence. It fits with the style of house, is on a "side street" and doesn't effect anybody negatively. The lattice work that seems to be the issue relative to height is "see through" (due to the fact that it is lattice and does not feel like a "too tall" fence. Whatever busybody is complaining needs to get a life! This is nothing to complain about and doesn't bother anybody. The fence is very nice looking!
Our neighbors at 2678 5th Avenue put up a beautiful fence, no higher than many, many, others in the neighborhood. I can't imagine why anyone would be bothered by this fence and strongly oppose their being forced to take the height down. Would be intruders are a lot taller than they were when 6 ft. fence restrictions became the norm. Everyone should be allowed to install a fence as high as they deem necessary to protect themselves.
I live on the 2600 block of 5th Avenue. My neighbors at 2678 5th Ave. installed two new fences last year - one along their 27th Avenue property line and one between their backyard and a neighbor’s backyard. The fences have received many compliments – not only in the replacement of deteriorating fences but also in their beautiful design quality. The new fences are quite attractive and add to the neighborhood ambiance. For the shared fence, the neighbors enthusiastically worked together on the fence design and measurements.
I also know that the whole block is quite enthusiastic about the new fences, and we all support our neighbors in keeping them in place
I live around the corner from the fence at 2678 5th Avenue, and I think the fence is beautiful and should be allowed to remain as it is.
In any walk through Curtis Park you can see that many of our fences, garages, tool sheds and plantings are at variance to written building codes. These creative variations, on virtually every street or alley, are a large part of the visual charm of our neighborhood and, I would venture to say, celebrated by almost all of us who live here.
I hope this lovely fence can remain as an exceptional contribution to our neighborhood. While building codes are, of course, essential, an unwavering adherence to rules is a recipe for mediocrity and conformity and dullness. This is not Curtis Park.
I urge you to allow this fence to remain because it contributes to Curtis Park’s beauty, uniqueness and charm. Sometimes the good of the neighborhood requires judicious allowance for exceptions to the rule.
I walk past the property almost every day and I find the fence to be beautiful. The fence adds great curb appeal to the property as well as the neighborhood.
I live around the corner and noticed the fence while walking and it is very beautiful. I think when you live on an alleyway or corner you should be allowed to have a taller fence. It keeps people from jumping over or scoping your house out so you don't get robbed.

I love a few doors down from this property. This is a beautiful fence. I don't think a casual observer would ever think it was too much.
