Complaints have be received regarding a large treehouse, built immediately adjacent to
a neighboring residential property. This treehouse projects above the common fence,
looking down into the neighbor's rear yard and pool area, and even an 8' fence would
not block it. Treehouses, swing structures, playhouses and similar play structures are
exempt from building code requirements, and are not addressed by the Zoning
Ordinance.
Staff prepared draft amendments to Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations
relative to play structures. The proposed amendments would establish minimum
setback requirements for any play structure over 8' in height, requiring them to be
placed in the rear yard, and to be a minimum of 6' from any property line.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Jimmy Fechter moved to approve AM19-04.
