1 <br />3. <br />Q) <br />Variance for Fence: // <br />Conley Brooks, Jr. is proposing to remove the existing dilapidated fence along Femdale <br />Road West for the entire length of Parcel F. and to replace it with a new fenc- A drawing <br />depictmg the location of the current fence and the proposed fence will be submitted to the City <br />under separate cover. <br />The existing fence along the road was part of the original Skarp property. In height, it is <br />mostly 5-6' high, with some missing sections which have been replaced with 3-4' fence. It cmges <br />from about 3.5’ from the road .-Ige at the eastern end of Parcel F to approximately V from the <br />road at the western end. There is a relatively heavy tree line directly behind the fence The <br />proposed new fence would be 6' high, made of cedar, and installed by Sterling Fence Company. <br />The distance from the edge of West Femdale Road would vary from 6-9', depending on the <br />location of the trees to be preserved. A gate would be installed in the fence at a point between <br />trees beginning approximately 12' from the westerly property line, in order to allow vehicles <br />access when necessary. <br />ariances are requested for the location of the fence within the roadway easement and for <br />height. The reasons for the request are as follows: <br />1 . Parcel F is a lakeshore strip which is very narrow, so there is relatively little usable <br />land. Location of the fence close to the road (but not as close as in the past) <br />would permit more of the parcel to be enjoyed by the property owner. <br />I W ^ M L. ^ - _ • • - - <br />9 <br />2. <br />3. <br />There has been a perennial problem with fishermen and other people parking along <br />West Femdale Road in order to access the lake across the private property of <br />others. No-Parking signs have been posted but are frequently ineffectual. <br />Ucation of the fence closer to the road would tend to discourage parking trespass. <br />Parcel F is low-lying and is extremely exposed visually to West Femdale Road, <br />compromising the privacy of anyone using Parcel F for whatever purpose. A 6' <br />fence would enhance this privacy and discourage trespassing. <br />The proposed fence would extend to the property line between Parcel F and Parcel B. <br />(Parcel B is the 20' strip, the ownership of which is the subject of a Torrens court proceeding <br />EB01:92I813 2 <br />:-------- • ——..-r
