Hello, Marty,
Here is today's update on concerns about the fence.
The reason for having the fence is compliance with code, since the vegetation buffer between the school and the homeowners' property is not wide enough to avoid having a fence altogether.
Our thinking is that repair of the current wooden fence would probably be neither cost-effective nor aesthetically pleasing. Wooden fencing is vulnerable to the same activities that have led to the destruction of this fence.
CMS is working on a funding source and purchase order to either repair or replace the current fence. If replaced, it will not be replaced with wood. We are considering a new 6' high chain link fence with vinyl slats. It would be important to keep both students and community members off the fence. We hope to design a fence with a gap (2 segments that overlap horizontally but are offset to allow a walker or ball-chaser to pass through without having to climb over).
I will keep you posted on our progress, and would appreciate your sharing this information with the neighbors. Thanks!
