Lattice (including Arbor/Pergola/Privacy Screening)

The use of lattice below elevated decks is allowed.  Privacy screening, consisting of fence/lattice and/or year round landscaping is required to screen hot tubs and jacuzzis from adjacent properties and from the street.  Privacy screening/lattice is permitted for use on decks and patios.  Any such screening must be limited to short runs, eight feet (8) or less in any one direction, and the following criteria must be met.

Under no circumstance is lattice allowed to be used as property line fencing.

• Lattice must be properly framed and anchored on all sides.

• Lattice must be pressure-treated and have a minimum thickness of one (1”) inch measured at the overlap.  Overlap connections must be glued and stapled.

• Maximum height of vertical lattice is limited to eight (8) feet above deck floor, including any necessary framing/support structure. It cannot extend above the eves of any adjoining roof.

• Maximum length in any one direction is limited to eight (8) feet.

• Privacy screening should be left to weather naturally or stained to match the deck.
