<br />. August 24, 2005 <br /> Dear Arden Hills City Council Members: <br /> We are writing you in regards to the front porch ordinance for <br /> homes on non-conforming plotted lots of the Chatham subdivision <br /> with less than 40 feet setbacks. <br /> We feel that there are many positive aspects to allowing for <br /> this provision. First, the adding of front porches benefits our <br /> neighborhood by upgrading our community. All of the homes in <br /> Chatham are approximately 25 years of age and are in need of <br /> upgrades in order to maintain the charm that Arden Hills has been <br /> known for and to keep it a desirable neighborhood and community <br /> for prospective house hunters. <br /> Secondly, there are many homes already existing in Chatham <br /> that have a front overhanging porch, some with even less of a <br /> setback, and we feel that it would not look out of place with the <br /> overall look of the neighborhood. <br /> We support allowing Phil and Joan Kramlinger a building <br /> permit to allow them to add a front porch. Everything that the <br />. Kramlingers have ever done has been very tasteful and would not <br /> distract from the charm of our neighborhood or our cuI de sac. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dave and Greta Schramm <br /> 3720 Chatham Circle <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> ~~ <br /> \ <br />. <br />
