Dear Brian and Paul,
It was very nice chatting with you both today. We greatly appreciate your efforts in maintaining the historical
integrity of our neighborhood.
In that spirit, thank you for your guidance in ensuring we meet the necessary requirements for our proposed
fencing improvements.
As I shared, we are looking to repair the dilapidated wooden fence that runs east-west along the north side of
our building. The fence divides our property and our neighboring property (1015 Scott St). The wooden fence
has become unstable and unsightly due to much of the fence becoming rotten. Our proposal includes
replacing the rotten wood with the same type of wooden planks that are currently in place. The estimated
cost of the repair is $289 as reflected on the attached work estimate. As I learned during our conversation
today, this falls below the $500 threshold which should eliminate the need for a building permit. We will
await your confirmation and guidance on this component of the project.
Separately, we are also looking to install black metal security fencing in an effort to prevent unwelcomed foot
traffic from entering the alleyway that runs along the north side of our building. This area is commonly
misused and desperately needs to be secured. Our proposal includes using the same fence design that is
currently utilized by our neighbors to the north (1015 Scott St). As you will see on the attached work estimate,
there are currently 3 fencing options under consideration (cost of each is detailed on the attachment). Our
association would like to advance with option # 3. This includes running the security fence from the corner of
the north building to connect to the wooden fence (tie in with our neighbors security fence). The fence would
include a matching gate that can be operated by key. To confirm, this alleyway only services our building
residents and is in no way a pathway utilized by municipal workers or other service companies i.e. garbage
collection, etc.
Please reach out with any additional questions you may have. We will await your feedback prior to beginning
either project.
Many thanks to you both,
Chris Willis
