Attachment D Michae! & Janet Fishback 2895 N Ham line Ave Roseville, Mn. 551 13 651l636-7046 Roseville Terrace Plaf 3, lot S, Block R Parcel H 032923240026 Our intent is to put a single driveway on the South side of our property . +?�ru4vovvd The nature of our problem is the increased tra=fic volume and speed on Hamline Ave. When my wife and I moved to our present location over 21 years ago , the traffic volume on Hamline Ave was very minimal. My wife began her licensed home daycare provider business, which she has had for 19 years serving many Roseville families. The traffic volume and speed of the traffic at morning and evening peak travel time has made it extremely dangerous for parents to drop off and/or pick up children and infants. In the past we have parked our vehicles on the Hamline Ave riqht of way and the area requested to be driveway. In recent months the city has told us we can no longer park there or we will be fined $100 per occurrence. Our intention has been and is to request a driveway permit, but first we need a variance to go to the property line in order to save and not harm a boulevard oak tree, which would be our second hardship. With the variance, we could have a two fold solution; additional parking to allow parents to drop off and unload a safe distance away from busy Hamline Ave and to keep the boulevard tree which we all benefit from. Knowing that our neighbors were selling their home and that we would have new neighbors, we waited to speak to them. We have spoken with and discussed this situation and request with them, and they have no objection to the driveway if the variance is permitted by the city. If the city would need that in writing I would be glad to get it for them. Our plan is to use paver blocks to not necessarily take away from the Zandscape by adding more concrete. �' 4
