Gaffron, Asst Planning 6 Zoning Administrator <br />April 13, 1989 <br />#1398 Karen & Steven Howells, 1448 Park Drive - <br />Variance/Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing <br />Zoning District ~ LR-lB, Single family lakeshore residential, 1 acre, <br />sewered <br />Application - Request for 6* high fence alon- street lot line of through <br />lot. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Application <br />Exhibit B - Plat Map <br />Exhibit C - Property Owners List <br />Exhibit D - Survey Showing Proposed Fence Location <br />Pertinent Code Sections - <br />Section 10.03, Subdivision 10 - A conditional use permit is required <br />for all accessory buildings on through lots in residential districts. <br />Section 10.03, Subdivision 15 - Non-encroachments. For a through lot <br />such as this, a fence exceeding 3^’ in height that does not meet the <br />required principal structure setbacks takes on the status of an <br />accessory structure for setback purposes. The variance can be looked <br />at two ways, both as a fence height variance and a variance to allow <br />an accessory structure in a required yard area. <br />Pertinent Pacts - <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />The applicants' property is surrounded on all sides by roadwa^ . This <br />property was granted lot area variances in 1984 to allow construction <br />of a single family residence. There is an accessory building on the <br />property that is used for storage. <br />The applicants propose to construct a 6' wood fence as shown on the <br />survey, along County Road 19. They would then reduce the height to 4' <br />and the material to a green chain link construction, as the fence <br />heads back into the property towards the house. The intent is to <br />provide a safe enclosure in which their children can play without <br />constant supervision. <br />Applicants have noted that traffic on both County Road 19 and the <br />"Lafayette Avenue" portio.. of Park Drive is typically travelling at <br />relatively high speeds and they fear for the safety of their young children. i 's
