front yard is considered to begin along a line drawn even with the solid front wall of the <br />house. <br />For houses on curving streets that curve towards or around the house, and for <br />houses on street corners, the front yard is any part of the yard in front of a line drawn <br />along the outside back wall of the house straight over to the property lines on both sides <br />of the house. <br />The question of side yards only arises for houses on straight streets, on curving <br />streets that curve away from the house, or for houses on street corners, the side of the <br />house away from the corner. The side yard, in all of these cases, is the portion of the yard <br />that lies between the front and back yards, as defined above. <br />Pursuant to the request of Commission Member Richard Morrison, the staff of the <br />Historic Preservation Commission has prepared this written summary of Commission <br />Policy Regarding Residential Fences, for consideration by the Commission at its October <br />15, 2001 meeting. <br />
