Page 2 <br />4. I have just completed a major remodeling project including a <br />significant monetary investment in attractively landscaping <br />the area where the proposed fence would be located. The <br />proposed fence would destroy the value and beauty, as well <br />as purpose of the landscaping I have just installed. The <br />view of the lake would be eliminated for people who would <br />approach our property. <br />5. At the present time there exists on my property the remain- <br />der of the fence which runs approximately 50 feet from the <br />east shoreline to near the west shoreline on the other side <br />of the lot. For the Rezabeks to construct a new :ence on <br />their property would either require it to stop and stand <br />separately isolated or I would have to consent to have our <br />two fences connected by a jogging bridging device crossing <br />the property lines. This would make the fence even more <br />unattractive than the previous eyesore. <br />6. Bachman's, our landscarir, has indicated that the recon- <br />struction of the fen^e on Mr. Rezabek's property down to <br />where my driveway easement crosses his property would <br />exacerbate the water runoff problem (inappropriate drainage) <br />onto the easement road caused by the polyurethane plastic <br />underlayment used under the Rezabek's landscaping by in- <br />creasing and channeling more of the water runoff onto the <br />approach driveway where it stands and does not drain off. <br />7. I understand that the Rezabeks have contracted to s— their <br />house with a closing date within the next 30-60 days. I see <br />no long-term continuing personal interest in their desire to <br />build a 5'-6' privacy fence separating these two pieces of <br />property. <br />In conclusion, I see no overriding compelling reasons that would <br />overwhelm these very significant and serious objections that <br />would warrant the granting of a 5'-6' high privacy fence along my <br />property line near the lakeshore. Further, it is my opinion that <br />the granting of this variance would be detrimental to the safety <br />and general welfare of the neighborhood, tLat it would depreciate <br />surrounding property values and that it would not be keeping with <br />the intent and objectives of tre zoning code of the city. <br />Your truly, <br />Orville E.
