Weinberger stated a <br /> 50 foot setback is required in this district. <br /> Weinberger stated a six foot fence was constructed last year to replace a fence that had existed on the <br /> property line. Staff has allowed the fence to remain until a decision is reached on this application. <br /> The existing fence will need to be removed because a portion of the fence is located in the Minnetonka <br /> Avenue right-of-way. The Minnetonka Avenue right-of-way separates the Applicants' lot from an <br /> adjacent lot to the south. City Code does allow fences as a non-encroachment within required yard <br /> areas; however,the height of the fence cannot exceed 3.5 feet if located in a street yard. The <br /> PAGE 1 <br />
