As the saying goes..."Tall fences make great neighbors..."

People build fences for lots

People build fences for lots of reasons Brandon. My two biggest reasons for putting in a fence are to keep my pets in my yard and to keep the neighbor kids OUT of my yard. I respect that I need to leave ample room around the fire hydrant at my property line. However, I don't like having to give up yard to the kids who cut across my yard after school or ride their bikes over the corners when they're out playing. I don't like giving up my yard to the people walking their pets who don't clean up after them. They don't mow the lawn, pull the weeds out or provide the upkeep. Neither does the city. I do.

The argument that fences 10

The argument that fences 10 feet from the property line effectively reduce the size of the property makes sense to me. But I think the answer to that is to not build a fence rather than to change the city’s rules.
