Fences and Walls
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approved the attach resolution for a modification to
Section 265-45 of the Code of Sunny Isles Beach, specifically as it regulates fence and wall height in
the single family residential district.
REASONS
Under Section 265-45 E(2) regulates the height and appearance of fences and walls on single family
residential lots. The Code requires that fences or walls be limited to 6 feet in height from the
building line to the rear of the property and limiting the fence or wall height in the front yard area to
4 feet in height. The intent of the Code was to allow protection for the residences along the front
yard and also permit visibility into the lot from the right of way.
An exception to the height requirement for fences on the front yard should be made when a
property owner wishes to place decorative fencing that may reach up to 6 feet in height in the front
yard. These decorative fences do not obstruct the visibility of the front yard from the right of way.
As more and more new single family residences are constructed in the City, the use of the decorative
fences in the front yard will increase. Amending the section of the Code allowing this decorative
fencing within the front yard will improve the form, function and aesthetics of the entire site, while
still providing security and visibility to and from the site..
