The fence is located in the front yard on the east property line and forms a barrier to the neighbouring property. The fence material is wood, board on board and some parts of the fence is within 2.4 metres of the driveway and obstruct the view of the public highway. The application is based on a complaint that was received and investigated by Municipal Licensing and Standards.
