Seite 1 The fence project for the rear yard at 1081 Riverside Drive, located in the Riverside Local Historic District is intended to accomplish two objectives. First, it will provide an area for the dog to run. This area is enclosed by 42 -inch tall, by 8 -foot panels of French Gothic Pickets. Two gates, one located at the west side of the house one foot forward from the rear of the house. The second gate is two feet west of the rear cast corner of the house. This fence begins where the stockade privacy fence ends and continues north approximately 24 -feet, set 6 -inches east of the west property line, then turns east for approximately 6 -feet, where it meets the house. This 6 -foot section is the only section of the fence visible from the street. On the eastern side of the enclosure, the fence line runs north and outlines a parking area for the Grand Marquis automobile which is one foot longer than the garage., making it unable to fit into the enclosed garage. The second area is intended as an entertainment and relaxation area with a 12 by 12 -foot one foot square tile surface set on a gravel and sand base at ground level. In the center of this patio area is an in ground 27 -inch circular fire ring with barbeque grill cover.. rising 18 -inches from below the surface of the patio and enclosed with RiverToNNn-- retaining wall stones. This area is enclosed by 6 -foot tall by 8 -foot long stockade panels. — A single gate is located on the north side of the enclosure and faces the rear of the house. This fence sets one foot north of the north side of the alleyway and is shielded on the north side by 8 -foot tall Lilac bushes. The fence then runs north along the west side of Lot 35, and is set 6 -inches east of the western property line. A Burning Bush hedge of over 8 -feet in height owned by the owner of Lot 34, shields this fence from that neighbor. The privacy fence ends approximately one half the distance of this hedge,xvhcre the picket fence then begins and runs approximately 24 -feet north of the end of this hedge. A photograph, circa 1965, of the former Mr. Melander, of 1064 Wood,,Nrard Avenue, sets directly across the alleyway from the rear of Lot 35, which is 1081 Riverside Drive. This fence has not existed for over forty years. The privacy fence replaces the pictured picket fence. The owner of 1081 Riverside Drive began construction of the rear of the privacy fence under the impression that no permits, including a CoA was necessary since the fence project was in the rear yard and not visible from the street. Nklien the owner became aware that their assumptions were incorrect, they halted all construction until permits could be obtained. There was no malice of forethought.
