This is <br />contrary to Section 106-791 of the La Porte Code of Ordinances. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Applicant: <br />Forrest Crump, Home owner <br />Subject Site: <br />The subject site makes up a 0.126 acre tract of land located at 3047 Carlise St. The attached <br />Exhibit B is an area map that shows the location of the property in question. The site is <br />currently occupied by a single family home and is situated in a residential R-1 neighborhood. <br />The fence has already been erected without obtaining the required permits.
