<br />Vernon M. Lunzer <br />1795 Chatham Ave <br />Arden Hills, MN 55 I 12 <br /> <br />April 15,2007 <br /> <br />James Lehnhoff, City Planner <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 West Highway 96 <br />ArdenHills,MN 55112 <br /> <br />Received <br />APR 1 (32007 <br /> <br />"'. <br />\..Ity of 1\ <br />.-.rden Hills <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Lehnhoff, <br /> <br />During my phone conversations with John Mennenga and you, 1 spoke about a recent letter 1 <br />received from the City of Arden Hills regarding violations of the local property maintenance <br />regulations at my property. More specifically these regarded the improper storage of an RV in a <br />residential district and refuse containers not property screened or kept in an enclosed building <br /> <br />1 have moved my refuse containers and will continue to store them in a less conspicuous location. <br /> <br />I explained that my licensed utility trailer has been stored on a paved parking area next to my <br />attached garage. This area is behind a line designated as front yard in the present zoning code. <br />This area also complies with proper clearance of side yard area in the code. It is clearly on the <br />shaded area of the diagrams, which is the buildable portion of the lot provided in the code. <br /> <br />We have asked you to clarify the definition of front yard as I have used it. The present code <br />defmes this as a forty foot set back from the street right-of-way line by an illustration intended <br />for many Arden Hills building sites. As we discussed, in my particular situation in the Chatham <br />Avenue subdivision of Arden Hills. the buildable oortion of the lot and front yard were allowed a <br />thirty foot set back from the street ril!bt-of-wav line. Due to this previous defmition of buildable <br />site and mv oarticular lot. I have no access for a wheeled vehicle in the back vard area. <br /> <br />This situation exists for other residents as well. We all want a beautiful neighborhood and our <br />home investment protected. In S\lmmary, we would ask vou to discuss the previous allowed <br />setback and buildable portion on the lot as it relates to the zouiu!!: code in our soecific area <br />of Arden Hills. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />N~ 11\. ~~ <br /> <br />Vemon M. Lunzer <br /> <br />Cc: John Mennenga, Building Inspector <br />
