<br />. Phil Kramlinger and Joan Furlong August 25, 2005 <br /> 3704 Chatham Circle <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> City of Arden Hills, MN 551]2 <br /> Dear city planner, mayor, and council members, <br /> My family was delighted with the possibility of adding a new covered front porch to our <br /> home as allowed by the new porch ordinance. However, when we applicd for a building <br /> permit we were informed that the Chatham neighborhood has less than the 40 foot <br /> setback required by the building code, and the porch could not be built closer than 30 feet <br /> from the Iront property line. <br /> 1 am writing to request that the porch ordinance be revised to allow the 10 foot cxtension <br /> of the porch into the setback allowed when the house was built. The porch would follow <br /> the side setback and design requirements specified by the city. <br /> When the new porch ordinance was adopted 1 believe the intent was to build community <br /> spirit with attractive gathcring places on the street-side of Arden Hills homes. Our <br />. proposcd porch is attractive, fits the layout and stylc of our neighborhood, and is <br /> welcomed by our ncighbors. <br /> , the spirit of the intent of the new porch rules, a provision is needed to enable owners of <br /> properties not con forming to thc zoning ordinances the opportunity to build a covered <br /> porch. <br /> f Qj Kt fo< YOO<OO5)"O"' <br /> Phil Kramlingcr & Joan Furlong <br /> {/11- CI~~ '~I~z... <br />. <br />----- <br />
