Re: Re:Bamboo Recommendation

Because of safety concerns around a swimming pool, I wonder if you could not
get a special exception for a fence as high as you want it.

Incidentally we have a bamboo hedge that is about 14 years old and about 11
feet high.  My husband is able to keep it in check by mowing close each time
he mows.
