Fence Height and Setback Standards at 1159 Sea Lavender Drive
Wilmington
Summary
Property owners appealed a city citation over a 6-foot fence built within a 10-foot front yard setback on a curved corner lot. The board agreed with city staff that the setback applies along the entire street curve, meaning the fence must be lowered to 4 feet in that specific area.
