. � <br />• • <br />B. Also not explored: are there some patterns of materials storage on the actual site which <br />might work equally well for Mr. Wicklund, and present less visuai impact to the <br />residences? <br />3. BRIEF HISTORY <br />There is a very long history of problems with this property meeting City Codes, dating from <br />the Albrecht acquisition, Prior owner did not have stored equipment visible to the <br />residential area, due to (1) visual barrier of evergreens required by Roseville. This was a <br />City prerequisite to protect residential integrity when the area was originally developed <br />from fields to light industry; (2) the use of stockade-type fencing to screen the storage, <br />which was primarily right near the building; (3) a substantial amount of shrubs and bushes, <br />most of which appeared to have popped up in a random, unplanned way, but were very <br />effective screening. <br />When the Albrechts acquired the property, they removed the stockade-style fencing, <br />removed the brush, and did not replace the original evergreens, which were starting to die <br />or be blown over. In addition, they installed a cyclone-type fence 15 feet north of the <br />property line, for which they trimmed the evergreens to about 9 feet up, thus removing <br />more screening. <br />Plus, they stored substantial amounts of materials right up against their fence. <br />Periodic approaches to the City to ameliorate this problem of what we see from our houses <br />have been ineffective, despite the City planning at various stages for a berm, plantings, <br />requests that the City enforce the "no storage" 40 foot residental/industry interface. Plus, <br />over the years, and through several different City officials, we have never received any <br />coherent answer as to why the City does not enforce its own code re these interfaces, as in <br />City Code 1007.015, <br />Property values are of very high concern to the residents--especially given the current <br />decline in residential property values. There is a history of some of the residents <br />successfully appealing their assessments to Ramsey County during a previous dispute re <br />industry compliance with City codes. (Although that industry was not the now-Albrecht <br />property, it was the property to its immediate east--which is why there is high concern.) <br />We can provide the Planning Commission with an extensive historical perspective, <br />including many photos from the past 20 years or so, if requested, regarding situations of <br />non-compliance with City codes. <br />4. CONCLUSION <br />We would like to see a workable agreement. However, in order for us to feel granting this <br />variance is compatible with our residential quality and value, we need to see speci�c <br />performance requirements built in, with commitments from the owner. We'd like to feel <br />that the Ciry has the ability to enforce this, too. <br />
