Currentlythe requirements for residential fencing is listed in both Ocoee Land Development Code Article V, Section 5-4,Open Space Requirements of Zoning Districts, as well as Article V, Section 5-4.1,Fences.This has created some confusion with residents regarding what fencing requirements need to be met in residential areas.

Development Services DirectorRumerexplained there are a lot of variations with fencing,along with different ways to installthem. This variable is being proposed in order to keep the fence from hanging over the other neighbor’s property. However, ifsomeonewantedto tie into their neighbor’s fence, they couldfill out a Joint Fence Permit. Chair Kellerraised concernsregarding back-to-back fencingwith a four-inch void where a lawn mower cannot reachwhich would contribute to the problem of long grass, snakes and mice. He suggestedto make this proposed variable greater in order to mow and clean up in between the fencing.Development Services DirectorRumerunderstood his concerns, but said he believes any larger variation will create access issues.He advised the Board these proposed LDC amendments are currently fluid and evolvingworksin progress. Chair Kelleropened the public hearing and asked if there wasanyone present who wishedto speak on this proposed project. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
