It appears that at that time the <br /> Council was amenable to allowing a new fence within the right-of-way with a 10-foot setback from the paved roadway. <br /> The direction given was that an encroachment agreement would be required, the fence could be as close as 10-feet from <br /> the roadway and 42 inches in height, if monuments were proposed and/or if the fence/monuments exceeded 42 inches <br /> (up to 6'), variances would need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and then approved by the City Council. <br /> There was no support for a fence which exceeded 6'at all. <br /> I have attached a few pieces of information including the variance application packet. Please note our hardcover <br /> regulations have changed and the hardcover information listed within the variance packet is NOT accurate. Please refer <br /> to the 2"d attachment labeled Hardcoverinformation Packet-2013.pdffor the most accurate hardcover information. Also, <br /> the 2013 deadlines have not yet been updated. If you are still proposing gates please follow the guidelines in the <br /> attached Entrance Monument packet. Upcoming variance application deadlines are as follows: <br /> • Noon on Wednesday, January 23�d (PC meeting on February 19tn) <br /> • Noon on Wednesday, February 20t" (PC meeting on March 18tn) <br /> • Noon on Wednesday, March 20th (PC meeting on April 15tn) <br /> An encroachment agreement was not ever formally drafted for your project. Once you make an application for (right of <br /> way) permit or variance I will request that our attorney prepare a draft for your review and signature. Once you get your <br /> fence design formalized I'd be happy to review the process with you again so we are all on the same page. <br /> Also, finally, as you know, the dynamic of the Council has changed a bit since 2009 so I am not sure how to advise you <br /> on whether or not the support you received with the 2009 Council will continue with the current (2013) Council. Our <br /> Mayor, Lili McMillan, was a councilmember at that time and perhaps you would like to speak to her about this to test the <br /> waters prior to making an official application... <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning &Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtisCa�ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> City of Orono Office Hours <br /> Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm <br /> 1 <br />
