William Lamppa, 5119 <br />Red Oak Drive requesting that the aity replace his fence along the edge <br />of hie pmpetty because it had been damaged through park users. <br />After inspecting the site in question, there are 7 homes that abut the <br />eastern edge of Woodcreat Park. Of thoae homea, 4 have a fence boarding <br />the park perimeter. <br />Staff vould concur with Mr. Lamppa that his fence as well as others <br />along the park boarder could have been damaged by park users. The <br />�i particular fence in question is ao older wite fence 48" in height> <br />that the skatera have climbed over to retrieve pucics. <br />� <br />Before a decision ia made concerning the eatablishme¢t of a neighborhood <br />fence policy, Staff has prepared a list of gosaible considerationa. <br />1. If we set a precedent to replace one fence we will have to replace <br />all residents fences abutting park property in the future. <br />2. Staff does not feel that fencing each existing park area is <br />practical or feaeihle. <br />3. Fencea generally do not enhance the aeet6etic appearance of ehe � <br />neighborhood park syatem. <br />4. We would need to inetall at least a 6 foot fence to insure that <br />£i,ure pmbleme would be eliminated, vhich would be extremely <br />expansive. <br />5. Fe�aea should be used as a final alternative after all other <br />eolutiona have been exhaueted. <br />6. If we inatall juet one section of fencing we will only be <br />re-muting the existing traffic and not offering a long term <br />aolution. <br />7. .Ta it the City�e responeibility to provide "easements" oz accese <br />to the parks from each direction7 <br />8. Bxamine the poaeibility of the City eharing the coat of fance <br />replacement aith the homeo�ners. <br />
