The fence is installed along the North side lot line (abutting 96 Stanley Terrace), the west lot line (abutting 95 Stafford St) and the South lot line (abutting 92 Stanley Terrace) in the rear yard. The fence on the North side ranges from 2.1 m to 2.6 m (6 feet 10 inches to 8 feet 7 inches) in height and approximately 2.2 m (7 feet 2 inches) wide. The fence material used is wood with horizontal slats. The application is based on a complaint that was received from 96 Stanley Terrace. While the complaint was only received from the neighbour on the North lot line, it does exceed the fence height limits on the west and south lot lines as well. The fence was investigated by Municipal Licensing and Standards.
