Building in Pleasant View
Pleasant View had 4,807 residents at the 2020 Census, on lots that run large: a single-family lot needs 40,000 square feet with public water and 5 acres without, and agricultural-residential land starts at 3 acres. The town’s Department of Building and Codes issues permits, and its building permit application has lines for decks and patios.
Outbuildings
A pavilion, shed or garage stays out of the front yard and keeps at least 5 feet from the side and rear lines and from any other building. On a lot this size, a pavilion with an outdoor kitchen can sit well out in the yard, away from the house.
Driveways
A new driveway needs a $25 permit from the building commissioner. The application checks sight distance to the road, from 125 to 300 feet depending on how busy the street is, and whether a culvert is needed under the drive.
Pools, corners and fences
A pool 24 inches deep or more needs a permit and a fence or wall at least 3 feet high around it. At a corner, the sight triangle runs 35 feet along a local street and 45 feet along a collector, with nothing over 2½ feet inside it, so a fence near the road stays low.
