There’s a new electric fence along the sidewalk of a single-family home on Little Kate Road in Park Meadows.
According to the warning sign posted on the fence, it’s meant to keep deer and moose from eating and damaging the fruit trees in the yard.
The home is on one of the primary roads in Park Meadows frequently traveled by pedestrians and cyclists.
KPCW learned of the fence after receiving a photo and questions about the legality of the electrified yard addition.
The property owner told KPCW their home is not governed by an HOA.
A Park City Municipal spokesperson told KPCW the electric fence complies with the land management code.
The land management code defines what is allowed to be built on property in Park City.
A review of the code by KPCW found no rules for, or mentions of electrified fencing. The code requires a building permit for fences higher than six feet. However, this electric fence does not reach that height.
