<br /> <br />Dear Review Committee: <br /> <br />I am asking for your consideration in allowing us to build a 6 Foot or more privacy <br />fence in our front yard. We live at tbe end of an easement driveway and tbe front of <br />our bouse actually faces Hwy 36. Tbe noise level bas significantly increased over the <br />years due to the added lanes on Hwy 36. There are no trees or shruhs along the <br />ditch and we have basically a clear view of the bighway from our living room <br />window. We tbougbt a privacy fence might belp witb the noise level and. also give us <br />some pdvacy from alltbe traffic that travels on tbisbigbway. Our family has tried <br />to tolerate the noise but it's just getting harder to block the noise out. Our TV <br />volume has to be turned up just to try and hear over the traffic. 1 have attached a <br />map of our house and as you can see; our house is extremely close to Highway 36. <br />We have no service road in front of our house aud the ouly way to access our home <br />is traveling down Sherren Street and exiting left at Milton Street. 1 just want to <br />build a fence high enough to blocktbe view of tbehigbway and also to help block <br />some oftbe noise level from thebigbway. If you any other suggestions, 1 would be <br />willing to consider tbem as well. I bave contacted MN DOT several times regarding <br />the noise level, and they have indicated that there are no immediate plans for <br />building a sound barrier along Higbway 36.1 believe tbeLexingtonBridge project <br />is at least 5 years out. 1 would like to know also if plantingoftrees along highway 36 <br />is something that could be done by the state or City of Roseville. Planting a row of <br />trees in our front yard just would not help witbtbe noise as we are so close to the <br />bighway. Trees take a wbile to grow and we are looking for a more immediate <br />resolution to tbe noise and privacy issues facing our family. I look forward to your <br />reply so we can proceed with estimates from several local companies that install <br />privacy fences. Thanks for reviewing our request for a variance in tbis matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Nasim and Jean Ayub <br /> <br />Our Address: <br />936 Highway 36 W <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Phone- 651-488-6873 <br />
