Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 17,2024 Page 4 entire property length. He asked if Mr. Carrara contends that different or other information was a part of the application. Mr. Lemmons indicated in reviewing the information he received from Mr. Carrara, the proposed application ran the entire length of the property. He had noticed the same problem and there was a discrepancy. From what he has seen, Mr. Carrara intended to build a fence the entire length of this property. Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Lemmons and Mr. Carrara for the information provided. Public Comment It was noted the City received many emails regarding this item which can be viewed in the June 17, 2024, Agenda Packet. Mr. Roger Anderson, 13605 1st Avenue North, Plymouth Mr.Anderson explained he is a developer and Association Manager for the Enclave development across the street from the fence. He indicated that during COVID, they held a team meeting to approve this plat, he developed it, and is now the Association Manager. He explained the appearance,aesthetics,and trail connection were all discussed at great length during that process. He indicated as a developer, this fence is a `smack in the face' for the folks who have purchased in the development. He indicated the Association supports the revocation of the permit as the fence never should have been built. He reviewed the survey of the property and indicated part of the fence is built on Association property. He also thought the fence that matched the rest of the fencing should be restored to the way it was before. He noted when this plan was worked through for development, there was extensive work and planning done with the right-of-way. Ms. Susan Follett,249 McCarrons Place West Ms. Follett explained when her family bought their home, the property had a view of the lake and there was a walking trail with a fence along it for safety until recently, when a black wall was built at 257 South McCarrons Boulevard. She explained this wall has compromised the view for them, fellow neighbors, and trail users and has separated neighbor from neighbor. She indicated her family concurs with the City's resolution calling for a removal of the fence, which violates the neighbor's culture and safety, and opposes approval of any variances or encroachments. She urged the City Council to remain steadfast in the stewardship of the McCarron Lake neighborhood. Mr. Roger Hess, Wagener Place Mr. Hess asked if this item goes to court, would this be covered by the normal yearly fee for the City Attorney or would there be a separate charge. He also asked if the City decides to remove the fence and put up a city-owned fence again would that be possible.
