Change the Fence Code in the Town of Livingston


Change the Fence Code in the Town of Livingston
The Issue
I am a single mom that recently moved from the City to Livingston NY. I moved to a corner property and to ensure the safety of my two cats and my own privacy I want to install a 6 foot tall fence around the house. This way my cats are contained only in that area, not get ran over by cars or attacked by coyotes.
As I am preparing for this work I found out that the Town of Livingston code does not allow fencing more than 4 feet tall on the side of the property facing the road.
This is unacceptable because it leaves me completely exposed where I need the most privacy from, the road and it leaves my pets in danger of jumping the fence, wondering in the wild or getting ran over by a car.
I’m asking you to join this petition to change the code to be a uniform no more than 6 feet tall in the Town of Livingston so people can enjoy their backyard without feeling unsafe or unprotected.
