May 13. i®on Ms. Jeanne A. Mabusth Building & Zoning Administrator City of Orono P. 0. Box 66 Crystal Bay. MN 55323 ■frii'liio RE: Reconsideration of Application 14-45 Dear Ms. Mabusth: Thank you for the letter of May 7, 1990. As you indicated, it has been difficult for us to get our schedules coordinated. I sought to meet with you in early April. Since you weren^t available. I spoke with Michael Gaffron; however, he preferred to defer my case to you. I have enclosed a site plan requesting permission from the City of Orono to comply with the suggestion of my insurance carrier: to erecr fencing of at least 5 feet in height. Wherever fencing of that height would be installed on our property, a variance would be required. We request permission to install fencing along the property boundaries to the North and to the South. This would not exceed 5 feet in height and would replace the 3 and 1/2 foot fencing presently in place. Also requested are three small sections of gated fencing to the North of the house, between the garage and the house and to the South of the garage. We request permission to install this fencing between now and the expiration date of our original Building Permit. The landscaping done by the previous owners was put in place to follow the boundary-1ine fencing. Fencing within the boundaries would "chop up" our already small backyard area. I enclose a letter signed by my two North and South neighbors indicating their support for our request. Mrs. Peterson and I heard the Council at the 12/11/89 meeting instruct us to remove the fence installed in the Briar right-of-way and give us permission to re-place that fence along our property line. That action has been completed. The Council als.; gave permission for the remainder of the new fence to be left as is. The notice of Council action dated 12/'18/89 stated it as follows: "No further installaticn of the privacy fence is approved...unti1 applicants submit a revised site plan..." The new fence replaced existing fence that has since been discarded. Hopefully, this will become a moot point, if the Council approves our plan for fencing. Because our conflicting schedules have delayed us in submitting this site plan—I had hoped to meet with you personally—I must also request an extension of the June 30, 1990 deadline for action, if the Council does not approve our revised site plan. As a German teacher. I am leading a small group of students to Europe and am remaining on to participate in a German educators workshop from June 5 through early July. Sincerely jory"'Gregory and Julianne Peterson
