RE: Letter of Intent for Changes to Approved Pool Fencing Plan
Dear Kim,
We are proposing a few changes to a previously approved application for pool fencing at 265 Orchard Street in
Orient, NY. The previously approved plan dated February 2, 2024 included a 4’ ht. wire mesh pool fence with
privet hedge surrounding the pool with the existing approximately 3’ ht. wood picket fence and gates on the
sides of the house to remain. Our clients have decided they prefer to keep the rear yard more open and would
like to reconfigure the proposed pool enclosure. Please find attached a revised fencing plan dated April 23, 2025
reflecting the following changes.
- Replace the existing approximately 3’ ht. wood picket fence running east to west on either side of the
residence with a 56” ht. pool code compliant natural cedar picket fence and gates with the same
character as the existing. The new fencing on the west side of the house will remain in the same location
as the existing. The new fencing on the east side of the house will move approximately 8’ to the south
and tie into the southeast corner of the residence. In both locations, we propose a 6’ ht. privet hedge
behind the 56” ht. picket fence.
- Extend the previously proposed 6’ ht. wire mesh fence running north to south on the eastern property
boundary to connect to the 56” ht. picket fence. The wire mesh fence will be hidden within the existing
privet hedge.
- Propose new 6’ ht. stockade fence running north to south along the western property boundary. This
fencing will match the existing 6’ ht. stockade fence running east to west along the north property line,
which was approved in the previous application.
In addition, the homeowner was requested by her insurance company to add railings to the existing wood
landing and steps on the west side of the house. We are proposing a white-painted railing with spaced pickets
and end posts with detailing to match the front-porch columns, as shown in Detail 5 on the attached plan.
After your review, please let us know if this can be considered an amendment or if a new application is required.
Sincerely,
Stacy Paetzel, RLA
