The deciding factor for this purchase was the sweeping panoramic view and rural charm of the Lake McCarron neighborhood. Were it not for this view, we would not have purchased a home in Roseville Minnesota. Along the entire southern border of Lake McCarron there is a wooden split rail fence. The vibe of the natural looking fence is that of a rural – country ambiance. Many days we observe various low flying birds along the edges of the lake. Birds such as mallard ducks, loons and bald eagles. Now the split rail fence ends at the 600 block of McCarrons BLVD south and a large solid 6 foot plastic fence has been newly erected further west. The fence has transformed the rural country ambiance to an industrial office park feel. The neighborhood is now blighted by this 6 foot solid plastic fence. A fence that could diminish property values of home owners all along McCarrons BLVD south neighborhood. Many of the residents are seniors (such as ourselves), living on fixed incomes with much of their monetary self worth tied up in the equity of their homes. The plastic fence could put their financial future at risk. The plastic fence has no practical purpose. Security concerns of the Carrara family can be better addressed by other means. For example, the formation of a neighborhood watch. The Carrara’s south facing view from their home could be improved by cooperative planting of native plants by the Enclave at McCarrons lake HOA and the city of Roseville. My wife and I therefore petition the city of Roseville to mandate removal of the plastic fence. Regards, William Bockenkamp and Anna Fu Qbhf!43!pg!331
