Kevin and Kristina Myhers <br /> 15337 Nowthen Blvd NW <br /> Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> I <br /> 763-238-2294—kristinamyhers@gmail.com <br /> August 25, 2021 <br /> City of Ramsey <br /> Planning Commission <br /> 7550 Sunwood Drive NW <br /> Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> Re: Variance for a fence at 15337 Nowthen Blvd NW—Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> To Whom it May Concern, <br /> We are using the Land Use Application to apply for a Variance for a fence to be installed on our property <br /> E <br /> which is located at 15337 Nowthen Blvd NW.—Ramsey, MN 55303. <br /> We would like to place a 6'tall fence on the front of our property on the Southeast and Norwest sides of <br /> our driveway.The fence will connect to the existing fence on the north and south sides of the property. <br /> This fence would be set back approximately 10'from the front property line and approximately 25'from r` <br /> the street. (See Exhibit 1) <br /> The fence will be framed with treated framing material to withstand the elements of the Minnesota <br /> seasons. The fence will then be finished with 6" x 6" maintenance free post covers over the treated <br /> framing posts with maintenance free post caps.The fence panels will be constructed of 1"x 4" cement <br /> boards spaced for expansion and contraction. Y: <br /> We would like to install this fence for several reasons. First,to enhance the privacy and decrease the <br /> noise. When we move in in January of 2020 there was an enormous amount of brush, trees, and dead <br /> vegetation on our lot. After removing the debris and dead vegetation (trees, weeks, plants) from the <br /> first approximate 1/3 of our lot,there has been an increased amount traffic noise heard from Nowthen <br /> Blvd.The removal of the vegetation has also decreased our privacy on our lot. The fence will add much [ <br /> needed privacy. Second, by adding this fence it will create a more residential look and eliminate the <br /> number of cars that enter our property, thinking it is a driveway. If you look at exhibit 2,you will see <br /> that our driveway is mapped as a road without a name on Google Maps. We have several cars per week <br /> r <br /> that enter our driveway and drive through the circle.Adding a fence will give the front of the property a <br /> more residential look and decrease unneeded and unwanted traffic.Additionally,this fence would be <br /> replacing the fence that was taken down a few years ago.
