FW: Fence replacement at 13746 Deer Ridge Place
I do not have any issues with Mr. Blanchford replacing his fence. From the covenants for Valleybrook, Section
3.17 Fencing, it states "All fences shall comply with all regulations of the City of Carmel
Mr. Blanchford will probably have to obtain a fence permit from the City of Carmel and submit fence plans to
the City for review and acceptance, since the fence is along a property line and also a public street right -of -way
line.
After we hear from Mark and Ron, the board can send a response back to Mr. Blanchford.

Hello Vince,
I have forwarded your e-mail to the hest of the board so we can properly answer your question regarding
replacement of your existing fence.
Thanks,
Damon
*VB Board -51-
*VB Board-7-Jobe,
uamon,
This is Vince Blanchford at 13746 Deer Ridge Place, and our lot back up to Gray Rd. Over the last few years,
due to age, drought, etc, the spruce trees on our western property line have thinned out considerably causing a
significant loss of privacy, and increased traffic noise.
I would like to replace the 4 ft wood fence on that property line with an 8ft stamped concrete fence. I've looked
into building a masonry wall, but the costs for that are a lot more than I'm willing to spend on this. Our plan is
to put the new fence between the 2 rows of spruces exactly where the current fence is. This is modular
construction, so we'll be able to do this with minimal disturbance to the trees which is very important to us. I
think the natural stone in the example below would match pretty well with the neighborhood sign and the
surrounding area.
This would add significant value to my property and I think be positive for the neighborhood as a whole.
I'm open to other ideas to fix the privacy /traffic noise problem, but think this is a pretty good solution.
What would the process be for getting something like this approved?
