<br />I. Traffic Visibility - Subd. 4.K <br /> <br />Regulation: On all lots, nothing shall be placed or allowed to grow in such a manner as <br />to materially impede vision between a height oftwo and one-half (2-112) and ten (10) feet <br />in the clear vision area. <br /> <br />Proposal: The proposed fence is not near an intersection and would not impede traffic <br />VISIOn. <br /> <br />Additional Information: <br /> <br />The six properties that are adjacent to the Lexington Avenue right-of-way and north of <br />Pleasant Drive have a wider right-of-way than those properties south of Pleasant Drive <br />(Attachment 3B-l). The narrower right-of-way and higher elevation for the properties <br />south of Pleasant Drive permit them to construct fences that are closer to the Lexington <br />Avenue pavement, which provides more effective screening. In fact, most of the <br />residential properties south of Pleasant Drive have fences. The properties north of <br />Pleasant Drive, however, cannot construct fences as close to Lexington Avenue because <br />the right-of-way extends farther from the edge of the road and the fencing is less effective <br />because of the lower elevation from the road. <br /> <br />2.
