TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: July 15 , 1986
SUBJECT: Appeal of Administrative decision to require removal of the fence at 16 Kerr
Avenue, Kensington, CA.
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) &Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Reconfirm Public Works decision to require removal of the fence from the right of way at 16
Kerr Avenue.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department was first notified about the fence encroachment at 16 Kerr
Avenue in December 1985 . A letter was sent to Ms. Lubash in early January informing her of
the encroachment and requesting her to remove the fence from the right of way by January
21 , 1986. When the encroachment was not removed by the date stated we proceeded to notify
Ms. Lubash by certified mail , in accordance with the California Streets and Highway code,
that the fence was an illegal encroachment and a traffic hazard. Ms. Lubash did not accept
any of the certified mail notices, therefore a notice was posted on her property.
The fence and gates at 16 Kerr Avenue present a number of potential problems that could
result in injury to person(s) using the road right of way.'
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Maintenance Division had planned to remove the fence and bill the property owner for
our cost in accordance with the California Streets and Highway Code. The estimated cost of
the removal depends on how carefully the fence is dismantled. Since the fence is a hazard
and the property owner, Sandi Lubash, stated it would be a hardship for her to remove the
fence, the Department has offered to remove the fence at our cost if it is not to be salvaged.
