Re: Brent Lindgren 2501 Kelly Ave. Representing the Kelly Cove Homeowners Association (KCHOA).
Attached photos are of the proposed split rail fence and the location between 2507 Kelly Ave. (Fredrickson's)
and KCHOA's property where we would like to install the fence.
The Fredrickson's have stored their snowmobile trailer on our property. They have also put piles of dirt and sod
from their driveway project and pallets of patio blocks from their pool project on our property. It took them a
long time but even after cleaning/removing that, they still left used pop cans, snack wrappers and unwanted
dirt and rocks for us to cleanup. We need to be in the position of preventing their use of our property rather
then us policing them. They know where the property line is because they had to expose it during their
driveway project. I have never heard them say they were sorry or that it witl never happen again.
Fences make good neighbors! We still want to be friendly!
The property line is about 7' to the left of the telephone pole and the City's easement is about 15' from the
edge of the road. We need to put the decorative split rail fence about one to two feet off the property line. We
are proposing to dig 2 post holes, install 2 posts and fill with the same dirt (no concrete, so they are easily
removed if needed). If we have to put the fence outside the 10' drainage and utility easement then that is not
acceptable. We will look at other options like placing "No Trespassing" signs (probably 2). This seems like a
reasonable request compared to the only other option of filling a Property Complaint Form with the City every
time there is a problem.
Thank you!

���� LAKESHORE PROPERTY
FENCE REGULATIONS
yF jq ��� Planning & Zoning Department 952-249-4620
kESH�� www.ci.orono.mn.us
Location
Fences are permitted up to a property line but may not be within an easement. The fence owner is
responsible for locating property lines and identifying any easements before construction of a fence. A
required yard is measured from the property line. The street property line is not the curb or edge of the road
surface. The property owner is responsible for locating this property line. If the property owner is unsure a
surveyor should be contacted to locate property boundaries.
Fences may not be erected within the required lakeshore setback. Those setbacks are as follows:
• 75 feet from Lake Minnetonka and Forest Lake (General Development Lakes);
• 100 feet from Long Lake, Mooney Lake and Tanager Lake (Recreationa/Development Lakes); and
• 150 feet from Lake Classen, Dickey Lake, French Lake (South Basin only) and Lydiard Lake (Natural
Environment Lakes)
Permits
Permits are not required for fences but they still must comply with the height and location restrictions.
Drainage 8� Utility Easements
Fences are not permitted within easements for drainage and/or utilities without special permission from
the City Engineer. Contact the City Engineer at 952.249.4661.
' Materials and Maintenance
Fences must be installed with the finished side facing neighboring properties or the street. The term
"finished side" means that side having no structural supports
The fence owner must maintain it in a condition of reasonable repair and appearance and not allow it to
become or remain in disrepair or in a dangerous condition.
Fire Hydrant Access
No fence may obstruct free access to a fire hydrant.
Swimming Pool Fences
The City does not require fences around swimming pools.
Height Limitations
Fence height is measured from existing ground level to the top of the fence panel. (Note: Along a County
Road or State Highway, the combined height of both fence and any fill shall not exceed six feet above the
road or highway.)
To determine the zoning district for your property check the City's website for the "Zoning Map" under
"Maps" or contact the Planning and Zoning Department. The zoning code defines yards in a way that
may be different from your definition. Yards are measured from the property line.
