(the "Subject Property"); and WHEREAS, the Permittee's home is located on Lot 1, Block 1 Flintwood Hills 4th Addition and the Permittee is the fee owner of the Subject Property; and WHEREAS, the City -owned property is legally described as follows: Park Flintwood Hills 2nd Add, Anoka County, Minnesota (the "City Property"); and WHEREAS, there is an existing fence (the "Existing Fence") along the common property line of the Subject Property and the City Property that, moving from east to west, angles slightly away from the common property line about two (2) to three (3) feet onto the City Property; and WHEREAS, City Code Section 117-111 requires that fencing be located 100% on the fence -owner's property. WHEREAS, the Permittee is proposing to install a new, six (6) foot tall wood privacy fence (the "New Fence") around the side and rear perimeter of the Subject Property and would like to `tie-in' to the Existing Fence, which would result in the New Fence encroaching on the City Property near the western end of the common property line.
