The case has been assigned to a Zoning and Code Enforcement Inspector. After the inspection is performed, planning notifies the owners of the violations and the corrections required.

I think this one got lost in the process, fence still there and looking very unattractive to the area!

Finally some action! Now this resident is trying to use a loophole to keep this illegal fence, another example of "An Ordinance Is Only As Good As Its Enforcement!" We will do what we can to prevent this fence from staying.

This resident falsified conditions to the ZHE in order to get an exception. The City did not verify these misrepresentations! As a result, the fence stays with the condition that the top 2' 6" portion is modified. Will leave open until this occurs!

Here we are two months after the ZHE approved the variance and this resident has yet to comply with the conditions! Get an inspector out here to force compliance!!

The homeowner posted the variance as required and moved the fence 3 feet from the sidewalk and 3 feet from the driveway as requested in the hearing. All conditions have been met per what the homeowners were told in their hearing. Did you follow the appropriate channels to make your voice heard about the variance?

Dear Mr. Vargas

You call this 3 feet from the sidewalk? Also how about those weeds?

This resident has taken this issue personally with one of our members, sour grapes!!

It's a 3 foot offset from both the driveway and sidewalk on just the corner. And it sounds to me like the resident isn't the one with the issue. Sound to me like Gatewatchers is the one with the issues. At least the homeowner made a positive home improvement, which is more than I can say for the in attractive, dated home in the surrounding area. This homeowner followed all the rules surrounding their hearing with the city and the case is closed. Sounds like you all need to move on to bigger legitimate problems.

The Notification of Decision, dated 6-13-13, spells out the conditions, do have a copy? Don't think so!

This issue, the conditions, must be addressed by June of 2014. Keeping an eye out until then!

The City doesn't want to be bothered nor do they want to work!. These residents with fence probably have a relative employed by city and will get away with it. I'm so frustrated with the city myself. Have requested numerous times to clean up weeds & trash in a lot they own at the corner of Unser & Arenal Desert Springs. I have complained so much, I've lost count!

Have contacted the inspector on this issue, the time for action is near! Stay tuned!!

The City does absolutely nothing! I thought also the fence could only be 4 ft. tall. How is it some people get away with this crap? I've reported weeds, trash & tires on Freshwater & of course nothing has been done! Mayor could care less, need Martin Chavez back! At least he'd get it done in a timely matter.

We are the point where we will be contacting the media. The City has done nothing to enforce the conditions that were set when allowing this fence to remain! These people are laughing at the lack of authority!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally some results! After almost four years, this fence has been modified. At least along the front property line. Hopefully, the side will also see some change. Let's go ahead and close this nightmare!

Forgot to hit close!
