RATIONAL FOR FENCE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR SECURITY FENCING AS OPPOSED TOA PRIVACY FENCE, IN THE PAST TWO YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS INCLUDING AT OUR HOME. AND OUR IMMEDIATE MAIN STREET NEIGHBORS HOMES. 1. ANEIGHBORS HORSE WAS ABUSED BY AN INTRUDER. 2. ASTOLEN CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A NEIGHBOR'S BACK YARD 3. OUR CAR WAS BROKEN INTO AND ITEMS STOLEN THE ONE NIGHT IT WAS LEFT PARKED OUTSIDE THE GARAGE, 4. OUR YARDMAN HAD Al BLOWER, EDGER, AND CHAINSAW STOLEN FROM HIS WORK TRAILER IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WHILE HE WAS WORKING IN OUR FRONT YARD. HIS TRAILER WAS PARKED ON OUR PARKING PAD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF 5. ON THE ONE NIGHT THAT OUR BOAT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OUR SECURITY SYSTEM WENT OFF AT: 3 IN THE MORNING AND WE LOOKED OUT TO SEE Al FOUR WHEELER BEHIND THE BOAT AND THE OCCUPANTS TRYING REMOVE THE MOTOR. WHEN WE TURNED ON THE FLOOD LIGHTS THEY TOOK OFF DOWN THE DRIVE, ACROSS THE FRONT 6. WE ARE FREQUENTLY AWAKENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BY OUR SECURITY SYSTEM AND UPON INVESTIGATION FIND PEOPLE CUTTING THRU THE BACKYARD TO GET TO THE 7. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTINUING NUMBER OF STRANGERS WHO DRIVE TO OUR BACKYARD TO TURN 8. THEN THERE IS THE LADYJUST AROUND THE CORNER OFF JILES ROAD WHO EXPERIENCED Al HOME INVASION. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, AN AGE GROUP OFTEN TARGETED BY CRIMINALS. IT IS OUR INTENTION TO BE PROACTIVE IN DOING OUR PART TO PROTECT OUR SAFETY. SO FAR WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY, BUT IT ONLY TAKES ONE PERSON WITH ILL INTENTIONSTO AND ABANDONED. OUR GARAGE DOORS. YARD, AND NORTH ON MAIN STREET. NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION. AROUND. CHANGE THAT. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Leyland Cypress wall along the western property line. Property line marked by stake. Leyland cypress wall view from back of garage looking toward street. Leyland Cypress wall view from rear corner of the house looking to back of lot. The rational for chainlink fencing on the rear portion of the property and the western property line is that these areas are not visible from the street and there is no justification for the added expense of using wrought iron fencing. As for using wood fencing, all of the fencing in the rear portion of the property and along the western property line would be drastically impacted by the trees resulting in a lack of sun and air circulation in those areas. This has and will continue to result in constant maintenance of wooden materials due to premature rot and The leyland cypress wall has already required us to replace all the cypress wood on the western side of the garage due to rot and deterioration resulting from lack of sun and air circulation on that facade. We approached our neighbors on that side when they first purchased the property a decade ago regarding the removal of the leyland cypress trees (which were small at the time), we approached them again when the rear of the garage had to be resided, and again a year or SO ago when we had to address the erosion problem on that side of the house due to lack of sun and failure of grass to grow as the leyland cypress trees also suck all the nutrients out of the soil. The leyland cypress trees remain creating circumstances beyond our unnecessary deterioration. control. Itis our intention is to use commercial grade black chainlink security fencing that will look good, as we have to live with it even if the citizens of Kennesaw cannot see. As such it will be extremely low maintenance in this shaded moist environment. It will provide us with the security that we desire as strangers cut thru the back yard at odd hours of the night and there have been several concerning incidents on our property and in this area in the last few years. Other considerations: Six-foot chainlink with no top bar is nearly impossible to climb, and commercial grade requires a large heavy-duty double hinged bolt cutter making it extremely difficult to cut and gain Wood or composite-wood costs twice as much per foot and is Wrought Iron style fencing costs three times as much as chainlink and as such is cost prohibitive for this unseen area. access. easy to disassembled to gain access. EXAMPLE OF DESIRED CHAINLINK FENCING Black chainlink with tension cable at top no top rail making it less visible Picture taken - N Main St at Kennesaw Elementary School The following photos of the property lines involved are provided to help illustrate the location of this fencing, however, I would like members of the HPC to visit this property and view this situation in person. That is the only true way to assess the uniqueness this situation. 1) From the end of the neighbors rear parking pad to the corner pin. 2) This short chainlink fence is on our neighbors property. Turning east our security fence will be installed 6 - 12 inches behind this short fence. 3) Turning north again our security fence will be installed amongst the trees 6- 12 inches inside the eastern property line where there is a short vine covered wire and barbwire short fence. 4) Turning west along the northern property line the fence will be installed under the trees where the land slopes down making it appear shorter from back of the driveway and not visible from the street. 5) Continuing across the rear property line under the trees to the western corner stake. Note the neighboring new silver chainlink fence. 6) Turning to move along the western property line this portion continues in and under the trees. 7) This picture taken from the property line stake even with the rear corner of the house shows the leyland cypress trees along the western property line where grass will not grow, soil erodes, and wood siding rots as a result of the leyland making a wood fence impossible.
