To Whom It May Concern, The resident of 16089 Covered Bridge is constructing a shed adjacent to the fence that is over 8-foot. To my observation, it is about 9 to 10-foot per reference to the 6-foot fence. They are on day two of their construction and I spoke with the owner already. I hope your office can shed some light on matters like this. Can someone from your office verify if permit was obtain or even if such kind of structure adjacent to the perimeter fence is allowed by the City? I would appreciate it.

Dear Mr./Ms. Lamas,

I would like to follow up on the matter because it seems that the structure is now complete. I was kind of hoping that the City would put a stop construction, tell the owner what he can or cannot build, since a stop construction is a lot easier recourse than demolition or other options.

Per Lathrop's Municipal Code, 17.32.050.2.l, the structure is not allowed due to its failure to meet location, height, and setback requirements. 

I am hoping that neither an exception nor exemption be considered by the City for the structure. Should the  owner apply for variance, I really do not mind the City to collect a little amount but the sad part is, the little amount is at the expense of my family's safety. We keep in our codes a 5' setback because it is a fire hazard if  we don't.

I trust in the City's capacity in handling this matter and I also trust that safety is the highest priority of the City for its constituents. I would appreciate it if you'll let me know where this matter is at right now.

Thank you.
