MRS. RALPH F. BERDIE <br />2208 FOLWELL STREET <br />ST. PAUL, INN. 55708 <br />Nov. ~, 1971 <br />Dear George: <br />Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the Planning <br />Commission meeting tomorrow night. Consequently I am <br />writing you so that my ideas may be considered at the <br />meeting as I feel rather strongly on the sub3ect of the <br />fence around 7r. Olson's }~ws.nuning pool. <br />First and most important, I think the Village should approve <br />his request for a variance. I do not think the fence is <br />an eyesore. In fact it isn't as close to the street as <br />the fence next door to 1800 Snelling, which may be con- <br />sidered a back yard fence for a house on Asbury, but <br />which is really much closer to the street than Dr. Olson!s <br />fence. <br />A friend of mine who bu~lt.a swimming pool in another <br />state tells me that most insurance companies require at <br />least a six foot fence around pools. My feeling is that , <br />if anything, Dr. Olson should make the fences on the <br />sides the same height as in the front. By doing this, <br />he would be more assured that children wouldn't come in <br />uninvited, and the appearance would be better as one <br />drives down Larpenteur. At present, it is a little un- <br />sightly to have two different heights visible. <br />If the Village refuses to allow a six foot fence in the <br />front yard would? bs liable in ease of an accident to <br />Gam. ~f kLc a-~~ <br />a child who climbed ovek the lower fence? Certainly this <br />would be something to check with the lawyer. <br />Good luck with youx decision making. My vote is in favor <br />of the fence. <br />~~~-. ~~ <br />
