WORLD FENCE NEWS • DECEMBER 2014 • 75 Often they are placed to denote boundaries, delineate specific-use areas, provide privacy or for aesthet- ic reasons. Common fence types are split rail, picket, board on board or chain link. Fences may not be placed so as to encroach on easements of any kind or on state or county rights-of-way. If you are on a corner lot, you may not locate a fence within 25 feet of the point of intersection on your property lines abutting the street(s). To place fences over four feet high on a lot, you must apply for a building permit and submit site plans showing proposed fence location(s), including well and/or septic (if applicable). Structural plans may be re- quired to erect a fence. If your home is located in a sub- division with a homeowner's associa- tion (HOA), a separate approval from the HOA may be necessary. Unless erected by the homeowner, all home improvement projects require that a contractor licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission be used. Scottsdale, Arizona The standard setback require- ments for pools is 2 ft. from the prop- erty line unless the property has an easement (i.e. PUE, drainage, NAOS and a use and benefit easement). If there is an easement affecting the property, the swimming pool, kool deck and pool equipment cannot vio- late/disturb the easement, according to this ordinance. If no easements affect the place- ment of pool equipment, the 2-foot setback does not apply to pool pump equipment; however, a pool heater vent termination shall comply with the manufacturer's listing and the IRC and pool equipment cannot be closer than 10 feet to any opening to an in- door living area on an adjacent prop- erty. Scottsdale's current swimming pool barrier requirements apply to all single-family residential swimming pools, spas and hot tubs constructed after July 20, 1995. There are no ex- emptions for households without chil- dren. The current requirements for new swimming pools include a fence that separates the pool from other property (commonly a perimeter fence, located on the property line) that is at least 60" (5') high; and a barrier which sep- arates the pool from the house on the same property, which may be a fence 48" high.
