A. Narr81tive The property loc81tea1 81t 222 N. McCalrmns Blvd. is located directly across the street from the Minnesotal Army National GQJard Recmiting and Retention Command Center. The entire front of the property faces the Center. A valrialnce to the fence height restriction of four feet for the fence located at the front of our lot is being requested to reduce the visual, noise and traffic impact of activities that take p~ace at the Naltional Guard Center across the street. These activities include, but are not necessalri~y limited to the following: PaJrking of NaltionaJl GUaJro member vehnc~es in front of the Nationa~ Guard Center building alS well as along the street on N. McCarrons !Slvd. in front of our house. The City of Rosevme recognized the excess traffic alnd palrk~ng impact that the Center would put on the neighborhood by widening tile street in front of our property to include on-street parking for vehic!es. Assembly and exercise activities of National! Guard units, inc!uding both peop~e and equipment during weekend training sessions. Mobilization off Na~ionaJ~ GUaJm1 \!ehic~es and equipment for training sessions. The facility is also used for events alnd alctivit~es by various third paqr groups. Examples of ihese groups include gun shows, ethnic group gjaiherings, youth group activities, etc. Ma~y of these events and alctM~ies create the Salme visual, noise and ~uaffic impacts as Nationa! Guard ac~i\!ities. Therefore, we believe thalt the u~ique circumstances of the bJJi~ding ~enants and their uses of the facility across the street from our property warrants the granting of a variance to the fence height restriction for ~he fence located at the front of our property. ~n this waJY, we are aJb~e to reduce and mi~imize the visual, noise and traffic impact from the events and activities that are caused by conditions beyond our control.
