KORRIE AND DAVE JOHNSON <br /> 2916 SILVER LAKE CT. <br /> ST. ANTHONY, MN 55421 <br /> January 8,2008 <br /> City of St.Anthony <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St.Anthony,MN 55418 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> We are requesting a variance to City Ordinance 1320.03 Subdiv. 3. We are requesting-an <br /> allowance for an 8-foot fence along the back of our residence. We are seeking to replace the current <br /> fence with a solid-style wooden fence (eg. battenboard or interlocking). The rear of our property <br /> comes in close proximity to the four-lane portion of Silver Lake Road, which has a 40-mph speed <br /> limit in that area. In addition, the businesses on the east side of Silver Lake Rd. north of Silver Lane <br /> have bright nighttime security lightning. <br /> Strict enforcement of the ordinance would result in undue hardship because it would <br /> provide inadequate screening from traffic noise and business lighting on Silver Lake Road. This <br /> hardship is created by the specific and unique characteristics of our property location with regard to <br /> the proximity to road.Moreover, the fence would blend in character with the surrounding area,as the <br /> property to the northeast currently has 8-foot fences. All of the properties on our side of Silver Lake <br /> Ct. have rear privacy fences. <br /> Our current fence is 7 feet in height,and we would like an 8-foot fence because it will blend <br /> directly into the adjacent fence height.The cost of the fence will not be an economic hardship for us. <br /> We will just be replacing the back portion of our fence; the part that backs up to Silver Lake Rd. <br /> "Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br /> Sincerel , <br /> Korrie Johnson <br />
