Community Development Department 651-490-2279 . fax: 651-490-2931 August 14,2001 Mr. Brad Hoff 1897 Shady Beach Avenue Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Installatioll of llOll-collformillg fellce. Dear Mr. Hoff: On April 27, 2001, the City of Roseville issued a building permit to allow the installation of a vinyl fence along the northwestern property line of your property. The site plan that you submitted with your pern1it application was in error and did not depict the City Code allowances for yard fencing. Specifically, a fence located I a side or rear yard can be no taller than 6 feet 6 inches and a fence in a front yard can be no taller than four feet tall. The issuance of a permit requires the verification of the property line by either exposing the property corner pins or by provision of a registered survey. During the installation, the City's residential building inspector notified you that the fence did not meet the City Code and installation must stop until corrected. You proceeded to contact Dennis Welsch, Community Development Director, and me regarding the fence height allowance in the front yard, claiming that the City previously approved a taller fence on the property. However, we found no such records and detennined that the fence must be no taller than four feet in height in the front yard. We also determined that the fence could be constructed to the shoreline of Lake McCarrons, but must be no taller than six feet six inches in height. Recently, the Community Development Department has determined that the installation of the fence was not completed in accordance with the City Code. In so doing, the fence installed in the front yard is in direct violation of City Code, Section 10 12.02B2 and 3 of the Roseville City Code. The Community development Staff has determined the following: II The terrain (slope) of the lot from Shady Beach A venue to the lakeshore will contribute to an uneven fence installation that may be taller than the maximum required height of six feet six inches. This situation is acceptable if the fence located on the high side of the slope meets the six foot six inch maximum requirement. The City will inspect and verify the fence height for conforn1ity to Section 10 12.02B3 of the Roseville City Code.
