Docket No. 07030028 V
Dear Council Members:
The Review Board for the Village of WestClay maintains that side yard fences be limited
to six feet.
Sundown Gardens first proposed this 8' fence in September 2006, in conjunction with a
fencing submittal for Lot 443. The review Board stated flatly that only a 6' fence would
be allowed.
In October, Sundown Gardens resubmitted this 8' tall fence as part of a trellis for Lot
444. Again, the Board stated that only a 6' fence would be allowed, but this could be
incorporated into the 8' trellis.
An on-site meeting was held in February 2007 to discuss this fence that had been built
greater than 6' tall (-7' -3") and the possibility of raising the trellis to -10'. The Board's
response was that only a 6' tall fence is allowed, but if a variance was received from the
City, we would not force the owners to bring this fence into compliance.
Again, the Review Board is adamant about not allowing fences greater than six feet tall.
It is our recommendation that this variance for an 8' -6" fence be denied.
Sincerely,
BRENWICK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.

Re: Lot #444 Fence and Pergola
Dear Todd,
The City of Carmel zoning ordinances limit fences to six feet above surrounding grade.
If your clients wish to maintain their existing, non-compliant fence at its current level,
they must request and receive a variance from the City of Carmel. Please contact Angie
Conn at 571-2417 or email her at aconn@carmel.in.gov to request a Development
Standards variance.
Upon the receipt of the variance, the Review Board will also approve the fence height
and the proposed change to the height of the trellis.
Sincerely,
BRENWICK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.

Todd,
The Review Board met Wednesday and discussed the proposed fence heights for Lot 443. They determined that
a 48" high fence on the south of the house would be acceptable. This is in conjunction with the previously
approved 6' high section.
However, the Board is adamant about not allowing an 8' tall fence on any property line. That being said, we
looked very closely at the proposed trellis for Lot 444. The Board had approved a trellis whose beam is placed at
8' to the bottom. If this trellis were to continue in some fashion for two more bays to the east, that may be
acceptable.
I have attached a conceptual sketch of something the Board would allow. It shows solid fencing to 6', which is
within the guidelines for fences located along property lines, and trellis above. The ARB would consider this to be
one trellis and not a fence that is greater than 8 feet tall.
We realize that you are working with both clients and perhaps you should be the one to discuss this with them. It
seems there will have to be a lot of coordination between both parties.
If you can come up with another solution, we'd be happy to entertain other possibilities.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Todd McLean
