/I-/ <br />CLAIR T. ROOD / 2215 KENWOOD WAY / WAYZATA, WJ 55391 / 471-8548 <br />May 11* 1992 <br />To The City of Orono <br />I am requesting a variance for my brick pillars along Hillside Place. <br />It was originally indicated to roe to be my backyard and that to build <br />brick piers 6’ high would be acceptable. However it has since been <br />decided that perhaps some time in the future Hillside Place may <br />become an alleyway. Hillsif*' Place is currently a 25* wide <br />right-of-way. The reason I am asking for the variance along Hillside <br />Place is as follows: <br />1 wish to plant a hedge or arborvitae trees between the brick <br />pillars. If the pillars are 3»j ft. high and the hedge is <br />6 ft. high, this would not be aesthetically pleasing. <br />By having brick pillars the same height or higher than a <br />hedge would give the hedge a much more balanced appearance. <br />My understanding is that there is no variance required to <br />plant trees, shrubs or a hedge along that property line to a <br />height of 6 feet. <br />I am also planning to build a now house on the southwest co-ner <br />of my property. Directly across from the future alleyway there <br />currently are junk cars, motor homes, debris everywhere, plus <br />the rental house usually has 9 cars parked there each day. I <br />would very much like to block out from my site this unsightly <br />area so as to maintain my own property value, with the intention <br />of having every angle as much as possible, aesthetically acceptable. <br />am an/ious to conplote and make these improvements which would be <br />of benefit to all and not a hindrance tu anyone. Not only is there <br />a time and coat factor which I am prepared to make, but I am at a <br />lost to do so until I receive the necessary go-aheadr <br />Thanking you for your conside ition. <br />A V • / <br />Clair T.
