Fence Questions in Bloomfield (house, fencing, yard)

[LexusIS250]

So i was planning on putting up a 6' vinyl fence around my yard, around 5' back from the front of my house and it wraps my backyard. I was just told that the fence that is alongside my house cannot be 6', it has to be 4'. Which means i have to have a 4' gate and a few sections that transition to 6' sections. This sucks, has anybody else had this problem and is there anyway around it? I was planning on getting this nice fence and now i have to change it all.

Apply for a variance. Rules is rules.

A former neighbor of mine just did this and it worked out well. It looks really nice. They did have it done by a fencing company though.

Did what? applied for the variance or had a 4 foot fence meet up with a 6 footer?

Hi Lexus do you mind telling me what office you called I'm planning on putting up my fence sometime this summer.

Somehow this doesn't make sense.......whats the "prupose" of the 4' sections ? What if you had a pool......that requires 6' fence......you'd never be able comply with the code if you had 4' sections ?
