Planning File 516: Request by Charles Anderson, 303 South Owasso 14 Boulevard, for a variance to Section 1012.02B (Certain Structures Not 15 Considered Encroachments) & C (Fences) of the Roseville City Cole to 16 install and extend the height of and existing back yard fence to 9 feet{ 17 18 Chainnan Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planning Thomas Paschke to present 19 verbal sunmary of the staff report dated September 3, 2003. 20 1 City planner Thomas Paschke explained that Charles Anderson, 303 South Owasso Boulevard, seep a Fence Height variance to Section 101 2.02)30 (Side or rear Yard Only) of the Roseville 3 City Code to extend the height of the existing back yard fence to 9 feet, including the new 24 construction of 57 lineal feet south of the home. The proposed plan is to extend from the existing 25 5 foot fence to 9 feet in height. The code allows 6 feet 6 inches, therefore this proposal requires a 6 two foot six inch variance to Section l012.02133 (Side or rear Yard Only). The need for the fence 7 height is caused by deer (the property backs up to Ladyslipper Park). One mature apple tree and 28 several Crab Apple trees (attached photo) have been killed or suffer extensive deer damage. 9 Among other things destroyed on the property include (4) North Star cherry trees, (2) fruiting 30 plums, and many (at least 25) roses. -31 32 Charles Anderson submitted a proposal to extend two existing fence types north, south, and 33 southeast of his home (4 -board and wire) to 9 feet in height, of which, 57 feet (4 -board type) will 34 be of new construction located south of the home. roughly 777 feet of existing 4 -board and 3/4 35 inch T post wire fence is located on the property. The purpose of the fence is to exclude deer 36 from the yard and maintain landscaping aesthetics. The proper has a,zoning designation of r -1 37 (Single- Fanm'ly residential District) and a Comprehensive Land Use' of LR (Lover Density 38 residential). 39 40 Fencing will be constructed using two methods. The first will use 9 feet in height sections of .114 41 inch galvanized pipe posts, with a 3/4 inch electrical conduit tog rail and a 3/4 inch galvanized 42 bottom rail. Fence fabric consisting of concrete reinforcing 6 inch by 6 inch heavy gauged wire 43 mesh will be stretched from the top of the rail to the base rail (galvanized). Metal piping is much 44 less visible than wood or vinyl fencing (much smaller than wood/vinyl). The second will use 45 already existing 5 foot tall 4-board fencing to extend to 9 feet in height and use fence fabric that 46 consists of concrete reinforcing 6 inch by 6 inch heavy gauged wire mesh which will stretch from 47 the top of the 9 foot galvanized rail to the top of ` the 5 foot tall 4 -board existing fence. 48 49 Mr. Paschke explained that the staff recommends that this is a unique site and variance request 50 and recommends approval of a 2 foot 6 inch fence height variance to Section 101 2.0213 of the Page 4 of 9
