    Fence over public water drainage easment

    Thank you CVG. Good to know. Only reason I even am thinking of doing it is because the Civil Engineer Contact at the County suggested it. Perhaps a small white picket fence etc. really is the best way to go.

    Fred, thank you for your input. We will be raising the fence up and I will be placing something like This underneath.

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    Correct. Left to Right. I would have loved the culvert to run the entire width. Don't know why it wasn't. I was advised by the county the 10 year storm is suppose to be grass... We put rock to rid standing water but was said that must be taken out.

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    I guess its really closer to 35 or so. Attached is the picture of the entire yard. The area in question is on the back left.

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    Attached is the picture of the current layout. I'd like to just raise it up enough to meet the 18" requirement while not creating 16 feet of gap that needs to be remedied to keep dogs and or children from climbing out. The red line is what the county is suggesting, which seems ridiculous. The...

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    I've asked the civil engineer for the county multiple times to provide this code. However they have failed to provide it over and over. Hence seeking outside help. Ed, do you by chance have any pictures of said example?

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    We've been notified by the county to a fence running along the property line and going over a drainage way is too low. We are planning on raising however the constraints provided by the county seem a bit excessive. The fence has 1 post in the middle of the ditch. The county is asking that the...
