the city or the adjacent properties. 4.4 For the past two years the Community Development Department has been involved in issues concerning Mr. Hoff's fence. Such as, the fence deterioration from adjacent property watering and its location within the Shore land District. It is not the Community Development Department's responsibility to determine whether Mr. Hoff's fence has deteriorated from yard watering. The City Code allows a 6-1/2 foot fence to be installed in the side and rear yards of single- family properties throughout Roseville. Further, the Code does not address lakeshore property, nor obstructions created from fences installed along a property line that extends to the shoreline. Such issues of whether a fence is installed within the shoreland district should be to the discretion of a property owner, hopefully with the input of neighbors. 4.5 Should the fence along the side yard still be an issue for the adjacent property owners, the staff suggests that the three parties go through mediation to try to remedy their concerns/issues. The City offers a mediation program (Dispute Resolution, Inc.), which could be established for the three parties through the City Manager's Office. 5.0 POLICY & FISCAL IMPLICATION 5.1 The Comprehensive Plan and the Roseville Housing Improvement Plan encourage maintaining and improving residential properties and infrastructure, as well as reconstruction and rebuilding of residential structures (and neighborhoods) throughout the community. 5.2 There are no additional fiscal implications and no public infrastructure improvements or extensions necessary. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 6.1 Staff recommends approval of the 2-112 foot variance to Section 1012.02B2 of the Roseville City Code for property located at 1897 Shady Beach Avenue, based on the privacy hardships issues described in Section 3 and 4 of project report dated November 14,2001. 7.0 SUGGESTED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 7.1 By motion, recommend approval (approval with modifications or denial) of a 2-112 foot variance to Section 1012.02B2 of the Roseville City Code to allow a fence 6-112 feet in height in the front yard of property located at 1897 Shady Beach Avenue, based on the comments and findings in Section 3 and 4 of the project report dated November 14, 2001.
