J u n e 28, 2001 Mr. Thomas Paschke City Planner Community Development Department City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville. MN 55113 RE: Additional Information - Fence Height Variance Request Dear Mr. Paschke: This letter is in response to your June 11 letter requesting additional information for our request for a fence height variance to be provided to the Community Development Department and the Planning Commission. Propertv Address Clarification We checked with Ramsey County - Property Records and our property address is recorded as 222 N. McCarrons Blvd. and they could find no reference to 210 N. McCarrons Blvd. Attached is a print out of their record of our property including the Reference Number for the property (R 13 29 23 14 0041). They requested that you contact them if you still have questions about the property address. Existing Fencing Situation Our property currently has a five foot wooden fence in place in the area where the variance is being requested. We are asking to replace the existing fence with a wooden fence that is five feet nine inches tall. The visual proportions of the new fence are such that a four foot high fence would not be conducive to this fence design. The new fence has a lattice top that is 12 inches high. The new fence height would not alter the essential character of the locality, due to the fact that the current fencing that has been in place for 10-12 years. Circumstances Unique to the Property Not Created by Property Owner As outlined in our variance application, our property is located directly across the street from the Minnesota Army National Guard Recruiting and Retention Command Center. The entire property faces the National Guard Center. The visual, noise and traffic impact of activities that take place at the Center are unique circumstances that impact our property and are not created by or under the control of us as property owners. The request for a fence height variance is to help us reduce and minimize the visual, noise and traffic impact of the National Guard Center activities, examples of which are detailed in our variance application.
