October 2, 2001 <br />Roseville Community Development Department <br />Attn: Thomas Paschke — Citv Planner <br />266Q Civic Center Urive <br />Roseville, MN SS 113 <br />RE: Varia�ce Appiicatian (City Code Section 1 O l 3) <br />Property Address: l 897 Shady Beach Avenue. Roseville, MN 55113 <br />Dear Mr. Paschke, <br />Let it be I�o�vn that we are filing this Vari��re Appiication with the City of Roseville <br />under protest. The reason for the protest is that we were issued a signed and approved <br />building permit vn A�ri127, 2Q01, to replace our e�sting fence, which had been built in <br />1991. The site plan submitted in 1991 was signed by all of the surrounding neighbors in <br />favor of ti�e va�iance rec�uest. Also havi�g gone thFOUgh approvals from both the <br />Lakeshore Committee and Roseville City CounseL a variance and building permit were <br />issued to us in 1991 to build a garage, retai�ix�g walls, concrete driveway, sidewalk, and <br />cedar privacy fences (which were approved for over 48" in height). <br />The �ermit issued us on Apri12'7, 2001, to replace the exist�' cedar fence (which was <br />approximately 5' 10" tall) allowed a maximu.m fence height of 6'6" for the entire length <br />af fencin� �inciuding the front yard section}. We cont�acted Awe-Fence Com�any to <br />build our pre-paid, custom-made vinyl fence at their factory, and to schedule the <br />insta�latiQ� as soQ� as possibie. T� fe�ce was insta�ed per the requirements of the <br />issued permit between July10 and July 16, 2001. <br />(h� August 14S 2001, we received a Ietter fram you statin� that we had installed a <br />non-conforming fence, which contradicts the building permit your department issued us. <br />I� �allowi4g yaur suggestion to apply for a variance, the hardships are as follows: <br />• Our bathroom window and bedroom windows are facing the front yard of the house, <br />�ich doesn't give us privacy fram nei�hbors and cars iQaking into tbe windows of <br />our house. <br />• A t�le� £e�c,� blocks vi��us and headlig�ts from neighbor's driveways. <br />• A taller fence blocks headlights from night-time tra�c due to the slope of the <br />ad�acent roads and driveways. <br />Thank you for your time in reviewing this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />� � i �// � <br />� !�%' �'�J� � <br />/ <br />; :.� . �.a : �.� : +, i <br />
