The property is <br />zoned R-l, Single Family Residential District with a Comprehensive Plan Designation of <br />LR, Low Density Residential. <br /> <br />2.2 Mr. Chamberland's property is surrounded by residential homes on the north and east <br />sides. The Christ Temple Apostolic Church lies to the east across Sheldon Street. <br />County Road C and the rail line lies to the south, as do a number of light industrial <br />properties. <br /> <br />2.3 Mr. Chamberland is requesting the variance from Section 1012.02B2 of the Roseville <br />Zoning Ordinance to increase the height of a fence in a front yard to 6-112 feet. The <br />Chamberland lot is a comer lot with frontage along Sheldon Street and County Road C. <br />Due to the noise levels created for traffic along County Road C, Mr. Chamberland and <br />his family have little privacy and sound screen for their home. The Chamberland lot does <br />have a stand of evergreen trees adjacent to County Road C, but these trees need trimming <br />which will reduce their screening effectiveness. Therefore, Mr. Chamberland would like <br />to construct a 6-1/2 foot tall fence in order to provide sound and visual screening. <br /> <br />PF3226 - RCA (062700) Page 1 of 3 <br />
