Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 17, 2024 Page 6 Mr. Olson explained Ovation Homes has made a significant investment in Roseville with the purchase of both of the lots in this development and believes the investment has been negatively impacted by the construction of this fence. They support the denial of the appeal,removal of the fence, and revocation of the permit. Dr.Amy Tolbert,261 McCarrons Place W Dr. Tolbert showed a view of her property before the fence was constructed and explained she was baffled why so much time was being spent on so many residents expressing their point of view for one who was clearly in defiance and was given multiple orders. She did not think the fence was going to be a blocked view. She was not sure what the need for a fence was when the arborvitae will grow to provide privacy. She pointed out that the argument for a fence was that a car might run into it. She indicated the speed is thirty miles an hour and is straight with nobody speeding. She noted if this appeal is not denied, the City Council will not be adhering to its policies and indirectly does not support the City's equity and inclusion work. She thought this was a dangerous precedent. Ms. Maggie Quarter,286 McCarrons Boulevard Ms. Quarter indicated she wrote a letter to the Council and Mayor. She sympathized with Mr. Carrera about his dilemma. She also wondered what the submitted diagram showed. She empathized with Mr. Carrera about the trespassing in his yard and was sure many people could agree with that, but she did not think the fence would solve that issue. She thought the fence would create a large issue of security for the community. Ms. Diane Hilden Ms. Hilden thought that a lot of time, money, and energy had been spent on this proposed project. She stated this structure was not a fence but a wall. She highly recommended that the City Council revoke the permit and have the fence removed. Ms. Sherry Sanders Ms. Sanders understood Mr. Carrara's concerns because her family also has some issues but this is not anything that would be troublesome to take care of,noting the police are called and come right away. She explained the fence does not keep people out and would also protect someone from breaking in because a burglar cannot be seen behind the fence. She liked that the arborvitae were put in and wished time would be given for that to provide the privacy Mr. Carrara is seeking. She supported the revocation of the permit. Ms. Mary Ann Journey Ms. Journey indicated her family has lived on the lake for eighty years and owned the property in front of their property. She stated when the path and fence were added around the lake it was a lovely thing for the neighborhood. Her point is that the City would be setting a precedent if this were to go through because they could petition to put a six-foot fence in front of their home as well so people do not see
