<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 the end of an easement driveway and the front of <br />our house actually faces Hwy 36. The noise level has significantly increased over the <br />years due to the added lanes on Hwy 36. There are no trees or shrubs along the <br />ditch and we have basically a clear view of the highway from our living room <br />window. We thought a privacy fence might help with the noise level and also give us <br />some privacy from all the traffic that travels on this highway. 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. I 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 and the only way to access our home <br />is traveling down Sherren Street and exiting left at Milton Street. I just want to <br />build a fence high enough to block the view of the highway and also to help block <br />some ofthe noise level from the highway. If you any other suggestions, I would be <br />willing to consider them as well. I have 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 Highway 36. I believe the Lexington Bridge project <br />is at least 5 years out. I would like to know also if planting of trees 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 with the noise as we are so close to the <br />highway. Trees take a while to grow and we are looking for a more immediate <br />resolution to the 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 this 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 />
