<br />ct) <br /> <br /> <br />June 17,2002 <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Schorn <br />Schorn Realty <br />2256 Lexington A venue <br />Roseville, Mn. 55113 <br /> <br />Re: Fence along East Property Boundary 2256 Lexington <br /> <br />Bill: <br /> <br />I have finished a review of the fence which borders your property. While the fence is not on your <br />property, the owner, Sally Goodroad, is concerned that the snowplow operators on March 15, <br />2002, (7:30 am) actually pushed snow into the fence and damaged a panel on the south end of the <br />fence and pushed out slats along the north end of the fence. By noon the same day, the plow <br />operators shoveled snow from around the fence and pushed the slats into place. They explained <br />that they would be back later in the spring to fix it better. <br /> <br />In a chronology of pictures and notes from March through May, 2002, the fence slats began to <br />pop loose again due in part to the snow and wind loading as well the poor anchorage after the <br />March 15 snow. By May 8 Mrs. Goodroad had called you to detennine next steps. Eventually a <br />panel fell. <br /> <br />In rnid May you and I talked about the 90 day fix up period the Council gave you as part of the <br />Interim Use Pennit beginning in September, 2001. I agree that your original repair of the fence <br />was completed during that 90 day period. The March 15th occurrence appears to be a second snow <br />episode, wherein the snowplowers pushed the heavy snow into the Goodroad fence. Repair of this <br />damage should have been the responsibility of the snowplowers and/or their insurance company. <br /> <br />The liability and responsibility for the second event - the March 2002 snow plowing damage and <br />repair - is a private matter much as an auto accident. The City's interest is in seeing that a <br />screening fence between the business and residential uses remains in place along your east <br />border. Please make your best effort to resolve this darnage in a neighborly rnanner. <br /> <br />Thank you for your cooperation. <br /> <br /> <br />~e1"h. <br />Community Development Director (651-490-2232) <br /> <br />Xc: Neal Beets, City Manager, Joel Jamnik, City Attorney <br /> <br />Q:Comdev/Planning FilesfPF3329-lnterim Use PermitIBiIISchom - Fence(06 I 702) <br /> <br />2660 Civic Center Drive .:.
