<br />2.3 The Community Development Staff sees validity in allowing a fence, 42 inch in height, <br />of either chain link (epoxy or vinyl coated) or a picket fence or similar to a point no <br />closer than 20 feet to a lakes ordinary high watermark or the established bluff line, and <br />10 feet from a delineated wetland boundary. <br />2.4 In the case of the lakeshore lot, the 20 foot distance is the same setback requirement that <br />water oriented accessory structures are allowed to be placed and affords each property <br />owner an area that could be landscaped to augment the property and shield the fence <br />(partially) from a lake view. <br /> <br />2.5 Although pools are not specifically addressed in Section 1016 of the Roseville City Code, <br />the Community Development Department has determined that a pool is a structure, which <br />would be required to meet the existing 75 foot structure setback from the ordinary high <br />watermark of a lake and 50 feet from a wetland delineated boundary. Further, a pool is <br />required in the building code and Section 905 of the Roseville City Code, to have a five <br />foot tall fence that completely encloses said pool. Should a resident desire a pool within <br />the required setback distance, a variance would be necessary. <br /> <br />2.6 The City Council has determined that a fence is a structure which must meet the current <br />setback requirement of75 feet from the OHW, or be at a point no closer than the existing <br />home or deck. The chart below identifies existing requirements and those currently being <br />discussed for inclusion in the text amendment <br /> <br />A: Existing/Current Interpretation <br />Principal Structure Setback 75 feet or current location from OHW; <br /> 50 feet from a delineated wetland. <br />Fence Setback 75 feet or to the existing principal <br /> structure and/or deck setback on the lake <br /> side/wetland. <br />Fence Height maximum height of 6-1/2 feet. <br />Fence Design no requirement. <br /> <br />B: Proposed Text Amendment <br />Principal Structure Setback 75 feet or current location from OHW; <br /> 50 feet from a delineated wetland. <br />Setback for Fence - up to 6-1/2 feet; and 75 feet or to the existing principal <br />more than 25% opaque structure and/or deck setback on the lake <br /> side/wetland. <br />Setback for Fence - up to 42 inches and no 20 feet from OHW, or the bluff edge, or <br />greater than 25% opaque to the edge of delineated wetland. <br />Fence Design no general requirement except limited <br /> height and opacity. <br /> <br />PF3362 RPCA - 080702 Page 2 of 3 <br />
