I <br /> ,VicfLas 'N. (Yavt <br /> 3104 c4zmouz 7e¢z.aca <br /> r 1(fnnea�olis, z-1(inizewta 55418 • <br /> August 21, 1989 <br /> TO ST.ANTHONY VILLAGE CITY COUNCIL <br /> We the homeowners at 3104 Armour Terrace are respectfully petitioning <br /> the City Council for: (1) A VARIANCE OF ONE FOOT (1 ft. ) fence <br /> height of Fence A & B (see diagram) FROM FRONT 'OF HOUSE TO REAR PROPERTY <br /> LIVE, FOR A CONSISTENCY OF A SEVEN (7) FOOT HEIGHT: <br /> AND: (2) A VARIANCE OF THRF.F (1) FEET PROM FRONT <br /> OF HOUSE SIX (6) FEET OUT TO THE STREET TO MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH BACK <br /> The grade of the ground is not consistent thus variance in *height of fence <br /> is needed. The boards applied are six (6) feet, treated boards with air <br /> space underneath them needed to maintain lawn. <br /> Our 97-inch dining room picture window overlooks the neighbors garage and <br /> driveway. We have suffered undue hardship of having to have drapes drawn <br /> for practically 10 years due to unsightly junk stored by garage and various <br /> containers (up to 5-gallon ones) of open-top crank case oil. Our requests <br /> to remove this junk or move it to large empty lot owned by neighbor on their <br /> west side, has basically gone unheeded. (See photos) . <br /> 64E HAVE HAD A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR NEIGHBORS ALL THIS TIME, • <br /> basically because we were very amicable and patient. <br /> When neighbors were approached about the fence, they initially had no <br /> objections and approved our efforts. <br /> We have four pre-teen and teenage daughters attending our Village schools, <br /> and thus have greater need for enjoying the privacy and beauty of our <br /> backyard. We have removed old, large gnarled and mostly dead trunks of <br /> old bushes and cleaned up the yard plus put up an expensive fence. <br /> The height of this fence is not incongruous with surrounding structures, <br /> since neighbor to our west has a 102 foot high fence across their entire <br /> back yard and that of their empty lot. (See Photo) . <br /> We would appreciate this City Council's favorable consideration in <br /> granting us this variance, so that we may finish sodding grass and <br /> enjoy the beauty and serenity of our back yard. <br /> Respectfully yours, , <br />�,`` DR.
