Gripevine

November 27, 2024 By whvoice

Gripe Vine Readers:

Recently I received a complaint. “I want to put a fence on my property, one that would offer privacy for me and our family in my back yard. After talking with a few buddies of mine I I began to get the impression that there was more to this project that I had thought. So,I reached out for some advice.

Curious Joe

Dear Curious Joe:

You pose an interesting question: because an individual who’s putting out the money for this form of privacy, and if so, what are the ongoing rules as a guide to meet the law for such a project.

Well, first I attempted to seek some answers for you and my readers. Not an easy as one would think. I sought out the state regulations and began to wae through the various responses to your questions. State and local regulations may differ and I want to offer both of these to you, which will include West Haven’s regulations as well.

Watch Gripe Vine soon for how high must a wooden fence be to meet conformity and state laws and which side of the fence should face he owner.

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

There are problematic weeds all around the overpass on Washington Avenue near the West Haven Lumber Company making it difficult to see..

I called the Blight Line three times and each time they responded within a day. They did an excellent job, not so much for the public

CD

Dear CD:

I am sure by now, it’s November, the weeds are gone. I was happy to hear your complements to the Blight Line.

Gripe Vine Readers I will be looking forward to solving your gripes. Send them on the coupon next to my column or mail them to Gripe Vine 840 Boston Pos Road, West Haven, Ct. 06516. You can also submit through our online form.
