Palmer, 2710 Casco Point Road, Wayzata, Mn. 55391 <br /> Re: Pia and Jeff Schutt/Arbor at 2750 Casco Point Road, Wayzata, Mn. 55391 <br /> My home is located adjacent to the East of the Schutt residence on Casco Point <br />Road; the arbor <br />in question is located between our homes. The arbor is supported by pillars and <br />extends over a <br />concrete pad; a sliding door opens onto this space which accommodates a grill and <br />seating <br />around a table. It is a relatively quiet and private area since I have only two small high <br />windows in <br />a bedroom which faces West. <br />I understand your City Code does not address an arbor structure. However, this <br />structure appears <br />architecturally related to the residence. I would argue its being defined as a "fence" <br />since it serves <br />as an egress extension. It does not define a perimeter of the property nor serve as <br />containment for <br />an animal or small child. <br />Rather, it simply a lovely and integral part of this beautiful home. It adds a definition to <br />the outdoor <br />environment and exhibits purposeful planning for its intended use. My family and <br />guests have <br />commented on how well it was planned and integrated into the home's foot print. <br />I would urge you to allow this element to remain. Thank you for your consideration in <br />this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Barbara J. Palmer <br />Council Exhibit B
