If you remember, a resident had complained about a rebar fence at 15 Pine Street. You checked out the complaint, found it valid, so we sent a violation letter. The resident came into town hall and talked to Mark Grylls. After speaking with Mark, he sent the below email, which Mark forwarded to me. The resident said he installs the rebars during the winter to keep the plows from digging up his yard. He kept the rebar up because the house across the street is being renovated and they want to keep the construction vehicles off their property. He maintains that the rebar is not a fence. How would you like to proceed at this point?

Mr. Grylls, We are writing in response to the June 28, 2022 "Violation Notice" from Mr. Gegenwarth, Chair of the Yarmouth OKH Committee. Since 2009, like hundreds of other property owners in Yarmouth and throughout the OKH Cape wide, we placed markers to minimalize possible damage from snow plows. Over the past year they have remained given extensive renovation across the street and our desire to prevent damage from the coming and going of construction workers and materials on our relatively narrow road. Under any acceptable and justifiable definition, the posts do not constitute a fence. Respectfully, as there is no fence, there is no fence to remove nor seek approval for. We request the purported violation be rescinded. Thank you.
