Background <br /> 1. Overview of Request: <br /> The applicant's property, 1104 Amble Drive, is located at the southwestern comer of Amble <br /> Drive and Lexington Avenue. The front of the house faces north toward Amble Drive and <br /> the eastern side of the house is adjacent to Lexington A venue. To increase privacy and <br /> decrease noise from Lexington A venue, the applicant is proposing to construct an <br /> approximately 130 foot, six foot high, 100 percent opaque fence along the eastern side ofthc <br /> property facing Lexington Avenue. As the proposed fence approaches the intersection of <br /> Lexington A venuc and Amble drive, the fence would angle into the property and continue an <br /> additional fourteen feet facing Amble Drive. <br /> Although the eastern side of the house that faces Lexington A venue is a de facto side lot, the <br /> Zoning Ordinance requires corner lots to maintain front yard requirements on both frontages <br /> (Scction 2.D.79). While six foot high fences are permitted along side and rear lot lincs, <br /> Section 6,EA of the Zoning Ordinance limits fences in the front yard to no morc than three <br /> feet in height and requires fences to be 30 percent open for light and air. <br /> City ojArden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Meetingfor June 7, 2006 <br />. \\Metro-inet-uslarJenhilfs\PlarrningIPlanning Cases\2006106-0f7 - Gallus Sill" Pfan ReFlew (PEND!l'/Gj\0522(}(j - PC report - Gallus Sile Plan <br /> Reviel'l'_doc Page I of? <br />
