RE: 1491 Wheatfield Way, hedge violation
Dear Mr. Ruedinger and Ms. Otto,
It has been recently observed that a hedge at the above mentioned property is in violation of Section
30 -35 (E)(1) of the City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance. Said section states: No fence or hedge more than
thirty (30) percent solid or more than thirty (30) inches high from the established sidewalk elevation may be
located within the intersection sight distance triangle, except for intersections controlled by four way stop
signs. The city Zoning Ordinance also states that no hedge taller than four (4) feet is allowed in the front yard
area. Please see the attached photos of the hedge in violation.
For clarification purposes, the intersection sight distance triangle is defined as: ...the area within the
triangle formed by connecting the following three points: the point of intersection of the property lines
adjacent to the lot of the intersecting streets, a point twenty (20) feet from said point of intersection along one
lot line, and a point twenty (20) feet from said point of intersection along the other lot line.
Motorists traveling eastbound on Ruschfield Drive are unable to see oncoming cars from the north on
Wheatfield Way. Since the intersection of Ruschfield Drive and Wheatfield Way is an uncontrolled
intersection, the hedge on your property will need to be trimmed to comply with the above mentioned
requirements.
In order to comply with the Zoning Ordinance, the hedge in violation must be trimmed immediately.
I will reinspect the property on or about July 3, 2001, and if the hedge has not been trimmed, a municipal
citation may be issued.
If you have any questions about this letter, or if I may be of assistance to you in resolving this matter,
please feel free to contact me at 920/236 -5062.
Very truly yours,
CITY OF OSHKOSH
