<br />Motion: Member Olson moved, seconded by Member Wilke, to deny a 2-1/2 foot variance to <br />Section 10 12.02B2 of the Roseville City Code to allow a fence 6-1/2 feet tall in the front yard on <br />property located at 1897 Shady Beach Avenue based of the following findings: <br /> <br />a. The propeliy can be put to reasonable use under the official controls of the City. <br />A 4-foot tall fence can provide the privacy desired by the applicant, without <br />having a profound impact on the neighborhood. Landscape screening can be <br />installed to augment the 4-foot tall fence. <br /> <br />b. The property owner created the circumstance by his desire to construct a fence <br />taller than allowed by Code. A 6-1/2 foot tall fence does not provide any more <br />screening or blocking of potential headlight glare from Shady Beach Drive and <br />the neighboring driveway than a 4-foot tall fence. <br /> <br />c. The 6-1/2 foot tall fence does alter the essential character of this neighborhood. <br /> <br />Ayes: 4, Wilke, Olson, Traynor, Cunningham <br />Nays: 1, Rhody <br />Attachemnts: 11/05/01 Kathleen Crea Letter; 11/05/01 Daniel Shiely packet; 11/14/01 Lake <br />McCarrons Neighborhood Association letter; Daniel Shiely rebuttal packet. <br /> <br />Member Olson asked the Commission to review the fence requirements along shorelines and <br />rational for four foot in front; 6.5 feet in rear. Mr. Schiely submitted (11/14/01) a request asking <br />for a shoreline fence ordinance (see motion later in minutes). <br />
