Mounds View Planning Commission October 4, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 4 ________________________________________________________________________ Ms. Willis replied the stakes were within a couple of inches of the fence. Mr. Eric Severson, 8388 Groveland Road, explained Midway Fence required a survey before they would touch the existing chain link fence as the blacktop was around the existing footings and protruding through the existing fence. Commissioner Hegland asked when the fence was installed. Ms. Willis replied the end of May 2006 and shortly afterward they moved the chain link fence from the back of the yard to the front of the wood fence, which they did themselves using the survey stakes. Mr. Severson stated the fencing company did the damage to the blacktop. Ms. Willis stated she made the call to Housing Inspector Anderson after the survey was done which showed the blacktop encroaching onto their property. She stated they are concerned about property value and legal liability stemming from the blacktop coming onto their property. Commissioner Hegland asked how much of the driveway is on their property. Ms. Willis replied it is up to 10 inches and varies along the length of the property. Ms. Willis stated the blacktop currently under the new privacy fence was through the old chain link fence prior to installing the new fence. She said they had to dig out the footings from under the blacktop. Commissioner Zwirn asked to see the photos that Ms. Willis had previously submitted to staff. He then referred to the letter from Ms. Willis that alluded to the representation of the signature on the letter of authorization dated August 23, 2003. Commissioner Zwirn asked how she came to that statement. Mr. Severson replied he asked to see the original, as he was not provided a copy at the time he signed it. He questioned the wording above his signature. Planning Associate Heller stated she did not have an original copy of the authorization letter. The Fords stated they were asked to submit the original to the City. Community Development Director Ericson explained Staff would typically put whatever was provided to the City in the property file and it would be kept indefinitely. He stated if an original submitted was submitted, the City should have it. He could not say whether or not the City had an original. Commissioner Hegland asked where the copy the Planning Commission received was acquired.
