June 19, 2018 <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelly Parkway <br />Orono MN 55356 <br />Re: Project Narrative —1432 Shoreline Dr— Privacy Fence <br />City of Orono, <br />We are requesting a variance to install a privacy fence between our property, 1432 Shoreline, and the adjoining property, 1440 <br />Shoreline Dr. It is a very unique situation as 1440 Shoreline is residentially zoned but allows commercial parking on it and our <br />property has two 75' lakeshore setbacks (From the east and west). <br />The parking lot next door to us has many users - retail sales customers, boat club members, marina customers, boat rental <br />customers and slip renters. To further complicate the situation, the City also allows users to park on the grass right up to the lake, so <br />it affects our normal use and enjoyment when using our lakeside yard. <br />Currently, there is an existing lilac and buckthorn barrier between the properties but offers little screenage, as seen in the picture <br />below. A privacy fence seems appropriate to afford both properties reliable screenage and will further beautify the setting. There is <br />evidence of a fence that did separate the properties at some point, but it appears that shrubs took over. <br />Here is our current view —taken on Wednesday, June 20 2018, at 3:OOpm. (middle of the week, mid afternoon) Left side of picture is <br />the existing fence that will match. <br />
