RE: Grand Cove wrought iron fence for lots 17,18
Date: February 5, 1996
This is in reference to our conversation on Friday January 27,1996 regarding Lots 17 and 18
in Grand Cove Estates. It is my understanding that the owner of Lot 18 is concerned about
children playing on top of the headwall on the east side of Wales Court. He has asked you if
a wrought iron fence can be constructed next to the headwall to prevent kids from playing
near it and jumping off it into the bottom of the creek.
According to the Grand Cove Estate plans, the top of the headwall elevation is approximately
496.6', while the 100.vear water surface elevation is 490' in this area. The proposed
wrought iron fence would be located outside of the public R.O.W. and on a drainage
easement which would require a hold harmless letter from both lots 17 and 18 regarding
maintenance of the fence being the responsibility of the property owners. The wrought iron
fence would not be allowed to attach to the headwall and must be built on lot 18 at the same
time as the other half of the fence on lot 17. In order for the city to maintain and access the
headwall, the fence cannot extend to the existing fence on lot 18. The approximate location
of the proposed fence allowed is shown on the attached drawing for your information.
Also. the property owner of lot 17 must be in agreement to construct the fence next to his
side of the headwall in order for the concern of children playing on the headwall to be
addressed.
If you have any further questions, please call me at 304-3682.
