• • 5.7 The variance, if �ranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. While the fence height limit serves important purposes, granting the present VARIANCE would simply allow the applicant to construct a continuous and uniform fence in a location that is literally inches away from the very same fence would be permitted. Planning Division staff has therefore determined that granting the vAR�AtvcE would not alter the essential character of the locality. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the comments and findings outlined in Section 5 of this report, Planning Division staff recommends approval of a vAR1ANCE to the fence height requirement established in § 1013.02C of the City Code to allow the proposed 6-foot-tall fence along the western property line at 826 County Road D. 7.0 SUGGESTED ACTION ADOPT VARIANCE BOARD RESOLUTION 88 approving a VARIANCE to Section 1013 of the City Code that would allow the consh-uction of the proposed fence, based on the comments and findings of Section 5 and the recommendation of Section 6 of this report. 8.0 NEXT STEPS 8.1 The decision of the Variance Board is final unless an appeal is filed. The appeal period remains open for 10 days from the date of the decision, and an appeal may be made either by the applicant or by another Roseville property owner. 8.2 An appeal must be submitted in writing to the City Manager by noon on May 17, 2010 for a hearing before the City Council. 8.3 If no appeal is filed, a building permit may then be issued, and Community Development staff will mail the resolution approving the variance to Ramsey County for recording against the subject property. 8.4 Pursuant to § 1013.03 of the City Code, the variance will expire 6 months after the approval date if a fence permit is not issued.
