		June 24, 1999 To:Scarborough Community Council From:Bryan Byng East District Manager Municipal Licensing and Standards Urban Planning and Development Services Subject:REQUEST FOR FENCE EXEMPTION Gregory PARVATAN Kerryn PARVATAN Mitchell SHAFI Sherri SHAFI 247 and 249 Friendship Avenue Scarborough Highland Creek Purpose: The applicants are seeking an exemption to permit an existing privacy fence ranging in height from 2.28 metres (7 feet 6 inches) to 2.43 metres (7 feet 11 inches) to remain as constructed. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: NIL Recommendations: That City Council approve the application to permit the existing board on board fence ranging in height from 2.28 metres (7 feet 6 inches) to 2.43 metres (7 feet 11 inches) to remain as constructed along the side lot line separating 247 and 249 Friendship Avenue. Background/History: Acting upon a complaint received, an inspection of a privacy fence separating properties municipally known as 247 and 249 Friendship Avenue was undertaken in May 1999. Inspection revealed a fence which exceeded the 2 metre (6 feet 8 inches) maximum established under By-law 24945 as amended. Random measurements established that the fence ranged in height from 2.28 metres (7 feet 6 inches) to 2.43 metres (7 feet 11 inches). In addition, portions of the fence were out of plumb and required repair. As a result of the inspection, notices directing repair were sent to the owners of both properties. In addition, a notice was issued respecting compliance with the height requirements of the by-law. Subsequent to these notices, a request for exemption to the fence by-law was received. Comments: The fence dividing the properties does not extend into the street yard and thus sight lines are not an issue. The owners of both properties have indicated that the current height of the fence does not present problems to them. It should be noted that the fence does not impact upon any other properties.
