Greider corresponded with Mayor Snider and asked that Section 17.57.160 be amended to eliminate the possibility of incorporating an accessory building as part of an existing perimeter fence. The Planning Commission reviewed Mr. Greider's problem and was concerned that it should not happen again. The Commission's recommendation is based on Building Code and Zoning requirements and addresses structures that do not need permits. All other accessory structures, which need Building Permits, will conform to the zoning criteria for setback, height, size and location. A 6�\r JAME B. SCHROED C 6nity Development Director !--bruary 5. 1990 Mr. Randy Snider Q806 City council _ �9© Lodi, California C'tYMla�Ofti� Dear Randy, A few months ago, a house that sets directly adjacent to my back yard was sold. The people that bought the house decided to bulld a barn in the rear of thclr back yard. In the process of bullding their barn, they cut approximately a foot off the top of my rear fence. Th i s enabled them to use the lower five feet of fence for the lower portion of their barn wlthout using any additional lumber. They then used the upper horizontal 2 X 4 on the fence to support the upper half cf their barn. I fully realize that thls is a clvi l matter and not a problem that concerns the city. However, In rcvlewing the city code, 17.57.260 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, I flnd that thls code permlts this type of baa l l di ng, In that It does not contain any easements between property lines. I can only Imagine that this code was written in the time that many of the rear yards in Lodi had alleys between rear propertles. In the last ten years. Lodi has experienced a great deal of growth. During this time, the size of building lots has deciined, Therefore, I would like to enlist your support In anending the city code 17.57.160 to include a five foot easement between property lines for accessory buildings. I strongly bel leve t^at the above mentioned amem=ent to this particular coee c z_'.d e: ,',.1nate future problems for property owners in Loci. Gary''G. Gre ,der 2338 Rock i r,gham Circle Lodi.
