Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Mn. 55323-0066 <br />Re: Fence ~ 2570 Thoroughbred Ln. <br />Dear Mr. Gaffron: <br />I am writing in response to your request for a summary of the reasons I would like to propose for <br />consideration of a variance at the upcoming co uncil meeting. <br />The primary reason for the fence is to partially block the road noise and headlights from <br />Watertown Road and Truffiila Tr. Of particular nuisance is the direct headlight glare from <br />i. rfrila Tr., which approaches my property at a 90 degree angle, shining in all of my rear <br />windows. The fence was erected to give temporary relief while the vegetation along my rear <br />property line matures. At that future time 1 would prefer not having a fence. <br />1 am requesting this consideration because I called the City Offices several months before <br />erecting the fence. 1 gave my name and address and told the lady answering I was considering <br />putting up a privacy fence along the rear of my property. I ask if there were any restrictions or <br />permits that 1 would need to comply with. I was told the only restrictions were that rear fences <br />could be a maximum height of 6 feet and front fences could be 3 feet maximum, and there was <br />no permit requirement. I then contacted Tony Eiden to check on any homeowners' restrictions <br />and was told there were none. <br />I feel that because I did use diligence in proceeding with the erection of the fence and <br />considering the cost involved, I should be given consideration for a variance at least until the <br />vegetation grows to obstruct the above nuisances. <br />Since^y,^ <br />itevenj^lips <br />2570 Thoroughbred Ln.
