The City of Buford Inspection Department has put a STOP WORK ORDER on the completion of a wooden privacy fence located in the neighborhood The Reserve at Bogan Lakes at 4760 POINT ROCK DR., BUFORD, GA 30519. The fence has 5 more pieces of trim as well as 2 gates remaining in order to be completed. This fence has been approved by the The Reserve at Bogan Lakes HOA and is in compliance with the neighborhoods covenants.

Because this home is located on a corner lot, the City of Buford considers corner lots to have two front yards. The City of Buford does not allow fences in the front yards of homes. So the homeowner has to Apply for a Variance to there current building code. Through this approval process, The City of Buford Building Code committee could require the homeowner to completly remove his fence and waste the $4,000 in materials alone the homeowner has spent eventhough several other corner properties in The City of Buford have wooden fences.
