ReF Special permission to erect a fence around
our backyard up to six feet in height.
Dear Council Members:
-ire hereby request special permission to erect a louver -style fence around
our backyard up to the height of six feet at 1438 West Minnehaha-Avenue.
We plan to use five foot length boards but require an additional six to
eight inches to clear the ground or grade level - thereby making the actual
fence a little under the six foot height requested.
Our reasons for erecting this style fence are several. In the 2j years we
have occupied our present premises, we have had several acts of vandalish
committed against us vhile absent from the home. Two were reported to the
police, but the culprits were not found. One was a break -in to our garage
with many valuable items stolen. The most recent was an attempt to enter
our home proper by breaking two storm windows near the backdoor entrance,
but a neighbor burning off paper in the alley apparently scared the offender
away.
This style fence is very popular down South where I have visited recently2
and it will give us the much needed privacy from a neighbor who simply
cannot and will not mind her own business. It will allow our children the
freedom of play in their own yard without outside interference, and we hope
It will give us some measure of protection from any future acts of vandalism.
We will also be able to control and limit the number of children playing at
one time in our backyard as right now they think it is and treat it as a
"public" playground. Having three boys of our own9 we like children but we
do not like having the play facilities in our yard used indiscriminately by
everyone Yrhen we are away from the home or our own children are inside the
house.
We would appreciate action on this request as soon as possible so we may
start the fence immediately and have it completed before fir. McGarthwaite
mast attend his two week's Army summer training period at Camp McCoy, Wis.
1438 West Minnehaha Avenue is Lot 10 in Block 4 of the Syndicate No. 5
Addition to St. Paul Ramsey County.
