Hillside fence heights and view preservation

Said the one-size-fits-all six-foot fence permit doesn't work for hillside lots and can destroy views, airflow, and property values; her family would be directly affected at 1530 Valley Vista Drive.

A 30-year resident of Brightwood Hills said a neighbor's proposed shared six-foot fence would block her entire view and airflow; asked the council to review the fence code for hillside areas.

Said a six-foot fence at the property line would obliterate his view at 1530 Valley Vista Drive and asked the council to consider a moratorium on such fences while ordinances are reworked.

Echoed his family's concerns and argued view preservation rules would protect the natural topography and character that draws residents to Monterey Park.
