I told him, not that I knew off! I told him that I knew you kept an eye on the area and were maybe looking for any new activity over at 19 Circle Drive. He asked me if I would report to you the new fence that was constructed over Labor Day weekend between 34 & 38 Circle Drive. It was constructed by the homeowners at 38 Circle Drive. I have tried to find the Carmel fence ordinance but have not been successful. When we installed our fence in the 1980's we were told that we were not allowed to have a fence that went beyond the front of our house or that was a solid fence. The fence at 38 Circle Drive goes all the way to the creek and is a solid fence. The Circle Drive neighbors are afraid that when the leaves are gone from the trees, this fence will look unsightly. Please let me know if I have to issue a formal complaint to Code Enforcement or if this email will suffice to report the situation.

The concern cited that the property's fence on the west side of the property, which extends into the 35-foot required front yard along Circle Drive, exceeded the permitted fence height as per the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance §25.02.01. The following regulations apply to all fences in residential zoning districts: 25.02 Fences. 25.02.01 On residentially used or zoned lots of less than two acres, fences located within any required front yard shall not exceed forty-two (42) inches in height, as measured from the topmost point thereof to the ground adjacent to the fence. At least twenty-five percent (25%) of its area shall be open as viewed on any line perpendicular to the vertical plane of the fence. Such open spaces must be reasonably dispersed throughout the entire area of the fence, except where solid stone or brick walls are permitted. 25.02.02 Residential fences located within any required side or rear yard shall not exceed six (6) feet in height, as measured from the topmost point thereof to the ground adjacent to the fence. 25.02.03 Residential fences not located within any required yard but within the buildable area shall not exceed nine (9) feet in height, as measured from the topmost point thereof to the ground adjacent to the fence. 25.02.04 Any fence placed upon an erected earth berm or masonry wall must govern its height as measured to the ground adjacent to said earth berm or wall. 25.02.05 Open wire mesh fences surrounding tennis courts may be erected to a height of sixteen (16) feet, if such fences shall only enclose a regulation court area and standard apron areas. ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571-2417 25.02.06 Fences enclosing an institution, a public park, schools, and commercial or industrial property may consist of an open mesh fence not to exceed a height of ten (10) feet. 25.02.07 No sign, fence, wall, shrub or other obstruction to vision shall exist in the area designated as the vision clearance area of corner lots. 25.02.08 No fence shall be constructed within the approved subdivision retention/detention drainage facility easement. 25.02.09 No fence shall be constructed within the twenty -foot (20') mandatory planting strip associated with frontage places and hammerheads. 25.02.10 Swimming Pools. In districts where a private swimming pool is permitted as an Accessory Use, the fencing for such pool must comply with both this Section 25.02 and the standards applicable in the district. Whenever the Board grants Special Use approval to a private recreational development or facility that includes a swimming pool, the Board shall require appropriate fencing and shall also require the applicant to make a Commitment that necessary lifeguard protection will be provided at all times when the pool is open for use. This department performed an initial site inspection of the subject property and documented that the portion of the fence within the thirty-five foot required front yard was in violation of §25.02.01 which regulates the height of a fence in the required front yard to be no taller than forty-two inches and twenty-five percent transparent. There are two possible resolutions to this violation. The first is to simply reduce the fence height to forty- two inches and provide the twenty-five percent transparency. The second option is to apply for a Variance of this standard to the Board of Zoning Appeals. If you choose to apply for a Variance, you will need to contact the City of Carmel's Division of Planning at (317)571-2417, and their staff will be able to answer any questions and further discuss this process. Please either modify the fence or apply for a Variance of Development Standards by December 1, 2008. If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at (317) 571-2423. Thank you for your cooperation. Respectfully, Bryan W.
