• <br />c <br />Dec. 18, 2003 <br />1425 W. California Ave. <br />Falcon Heights MN <br />Dear Planning Commission and Heather Worthington, <br />I request you reconsider the 18 1/2 foot height limit on unattached garages in <br />the Northome area of FH. There are two of these beauties on my alley which are <br />blocking the sky, trees and alleys when they are full of ice. Sand on the alleys may <br />help but sun that melts ice is the best. Their appearance is changing the <br />neighborhood--we do not have grass--we have cement parking aprons, <br />garages and houses on these small lots. <br />Several of my neighbors are feeling the same about these tall buildings. I can <br />r. <br />supply their names if needed. <br />In checking with other cities I find Roseville has a 15' height limit and <br />Shoreview residents can have a garage no higher than their houses. Here in <br />small-lot Northome perhaps a smaller percentage of the height of the home would <br />work. Also that city's parking areas, pools and other buildings must be counted <br />in figuring the coverage on the lot. That sounds like a workable idea to me. <br />While a shorter height limit may pose a problem for FH residents wishing to <br />i• <br />store belongings perhaps this information could be available to possible new <br />home buyers so they would at least know the restriction. <br />Thank you, <br />
