Board finds 1536 Coventry Lane in violation for unpermitted 8‑foot fence; order allows 30 days to comply
Summary
Code enforcement presented photographic and historical evidence that a fence at 1536 Coventry Lane was replaced without a permit and now measures eight feet; the board ordered compliance in 30 days, authorized administrative costs and set a daily fine to begin if not remedied.
City code enforcement presented evidence April 2 that a fence at 1536 Coventry Lane was replaced without a permit and exceeds the permitted height in an R‑1 zone. Officer Crystal Rimes said historical imagery confirms the installation occurred between January 2019 and October 2023 and that no permit was recorded for the replacement. Staff recommended the board find the property in violation of the Land Development Code, order compliance within 30 days, assess administrative costs and impose a $100 daily fine thereafter.
Rimes said due process notifications were served and that the owner had returned certified receipt of the notice. Board members discussed evidence photos and staff timelines; they also reviewed an email submitted by the property owner and noted a fake invoice had circulated that some applicants had received. The board voted to find the property in violation, grant 30 days for compliance and authorize administrative costs and fines if the property remains noncompliant.
Staff recorded administrative costs for this case in the hearing packet. The board closed the case and instructed staff to contact the owner about required permits and the compliance timeline.
