September 78, 1976 8:30 P.M. ~r Request: SP-74, Council approval of special use permit to permit erection of boundary line fence exceeding 3 1/2 feet in height. Applicant: City of New Brighton Parks & Recreation Department Location: 1550 - 29th Ave NW (Hidden oaks Park) Zoninq: R-l Code Requirements: Section 13-050 (F-2) Fences, essentially indicates that fences on side property lines shall not exceed 6 feet in height for a distance along the side property line from the year property line to a point which would be intersected by the rear ~al'l line of the existing principal building. From this point of intersection to the front lot line, boundary line fences may not exceed 3~ feet in height. To exceed these heights requires a special use permit approved by the City Council. The applicant for the special use permit is required to provide proof and reasons that the special permit fence is intended. Such special fence permit, if issued, may stipulate and provide for the height, location, construction and type special fence thereby permitted. Discussion: The city of New Brighton Parks & Recreation Department is requesting Council approval to construct a five (5) foot boundary line fence along the north property line of Hidden Oaks Park. Per the above noted regulations geverning fence heights, the erection of a 5-foot fence, from a point at the intersection of the rear wall line of the park building under construction to the front property line, requires approval of a special use permit. The Director of Parks & Recreation has indicated (See attached letter) that the neighbors to the north have requested the fence to protect their yard and bee hives from trespass. Park plans indicate that the area just south of the affected property owners will be developed as a hockey rink. The Parks Director has indicated that a 3~ ffot fence would not be adequate to discourage trespass to the property to the north.
