Mounds View Planning Commission July 10, 1996 <br /> 1111/ Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> create a hazard for children and pets and, <br /> therefore, is requesting a 6' high fence which <br /> he believes would provide adequate protection. <br /> Acting Director Pruitt informed the Commission <br /> that since the public hearing notices were sent, <br /> Staff has received several inquiries from <br /> residents. She noted all but one were in <br /> support of the fence and the only call opposed <br /> to the fence was from Mrs. Vogt, 8145 Red Oak <br /> Drive, who was unable to attend the public <br /> hearing due to medical reasons. Mrs. Vogt is <br /> concerned that a fence only a few feet back <br /> from the property will create a visual hazard <br /> and will create a problem with snow removal <br /> blocking the street. Acting Director Pruitt <br /> continued by explaining that staff explained to <br /> Mrs. Vogt that the fence would be located <br /> behind the house and that the Code allows a 4' <br /> fence in the same area. <br /> • Acting Director Pruitt noted that a revised <br /> resolution had been distributed to the Planning <br /> Commission. The contingency contained in <br /> Resolution No. 460-96 was noted, again <br /> stating that if the work is not completed within <br /> one year, the variance shall become null and <br /> void. <br /> Mr. Don Nelson, 2717 Sherwood Road, who <br /> lives adjacent to the Picks, addressed the <br /> Planning Commission expressing that he is in <br /> favor of the fence. He explained that he has <br /> seen people drive across the yard at least a <br /> couple of times a year and is concerned for the <br /> safety of Mr. Pick's child. <br /> Chair Peterson, who also lives next door, <br /> expressed that, when speaking as a neighbor, <br /> he is not opposed to the fence; when speaking <br /> as a planning commissioner, he did not see any <br /> negative impacts to the neighborhood. <br /> • <br />
