Mr. Koehler advised that <br />he has never had a problem maintaining the growth between the two fences. They have no <br />objections to their neighbor replacing their fence.

Ms. Beredo suggested that her dog could get through the slats <br />of the white vinyl fence and both home owners have dogs they would like to keep apart. The
