Weinberger stated a <br />SO foot setback is required in this district. <br />Weinberger stated a six foot fence was constructed last year to replace a fence that had existed on the <br />property line. Staff has allowed the fence to remain until a decision is reached on this application. <br />The existing fence will need to be removed because a portion of the fence is located in the Minnetonka <br />Avenue right-of-way. The Minnetonka Avenue right-of-way separates the Applicants' lot from an <br />adjacent lot to the south. City Code does allow fences as a non-encroachment w ithin required yard <br />areas; however, the height of the fence cannot exceed 3.S feet if located in a street yard. Ihe <br />PAGE 1
