November 5, 2001 <br />John Rhody <br />Planning Commission Chairman <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />re: Request for Variance for <br />Brad Hoff — 1897 Shady Beach Ave., Roseville MN 55113 <br />Planning File #3347 <br />Dear Mr. Chairman: <br />I am opposed to granting a variance to Mr. Brad Hoff of 1897 Shady Beach Avenue. Fourteen of <br />the sixteen neighboring property owners are opposed to granting this variance as well <br />(attachment #�. That is 87. S% of the neighbors who live within 350 feet of 1897 Shady Beach <br />Avenue! (exhibit #� <br />The fence is question, circa 1990, was built by the previous property owner, Mike Ubel of 1897 <br />Shady Beach Avenue. (I'm not sure of the proper spelling of his name.) The fence was set back <br />from the lake 50 feet and was shorter in height. This new fence is higher than the previous fence <br />built prior to 1990 and runs down to the shoreline. <br />I am opposed to the fence for the following reasons: <br />• The fence obstructs my view of the lake. It is a`taking without compensation'. <br />• The fence obstructs the sightline of the entire neighborhood. <br />• The fence obstructs the shoreline as well as the lake. <br />• The fence decreases the lake aesthetics. <br />• The fence decreases property values. <br />• The fence has a negative environmental impact on the lake itself. <br />
