I live in a city and I am looking to put up a privacy fence. The problem I have is my yard used to be two lots divided at my driveway and it was combined at some point, making putting up a fence a bit awkward. In my very rough mock up the green lines are my property lines, the brown is where I’m definitely going to be putting up a fence (give or take a few feet depending on city ordinances). The red line is where I am considering a fence (I messed up the spacing, but imagine the red like connects to the brown box on the east side.) Blue is my house and garage. Light blue is my neighbor’s garage. Black is approx measurement in feet. We park our car in our driveway and I’m afraid a gate would make the driveway very inconvenient to use. The city has some pretty strict rules around fencing and I tried to talk with a city official. He was a bit unclear but he made it sound like if the fence was 6ft tall it has to either be even with the facade of my house or 10 ft back front the sidewalk. My house is 8ft from the sidewalk. He wanted to review images of my property before clarifying. Anyway, I’m looking for advice/ideas on the red line or if I should just go with fencing in the very back yard (brown box). 

Looking to put up a fence around my property. Not sure how to handle my driveway cutting through the middle of it.
