Fences
The Venice Neighborhood Council on Feb. 19 took up
the issue of the maximum height of front fences and hedges.
The meeting took place the same night as the
meeting in Oakwood (see page 1), but seemed to be a different city. Most of
those in attendance opposed the city ordinance limited front fences and hedges
to 3.5 feet. One speaker maintained that higher fences meant higher property
values. Several spoke of concerns with crime, and a few, who had apparently
never heard of the Venice Specific Plan, said they could do anything they wanted
with their property. The VNC passed the buck to a new taskforce that will study
the issue.
