Re: Fence and Property Line Related Issues
Dear Mr. &Mrs. Krabbenhoft:
I am writing to follow up my communication to you of November 16, 2004,wherein I
noted my locating the front and rear yard property pins at the common line between your
home and your neighbor at 5690,the installation of wooden stakes at the pins and a line
being strung between the two pins from the front to the rear of the common property line
of 5680 and 5690 Newgate Circle N.
I informed you that,relative to the locations of the pins,the fence as constructed to the
rear of your home,had been misplaced and encroaches upon the eastern 3-foot side yard
setback. You were directed to correct the fence location so that is complies with the
required setback and were further directed to do so within 30 days of the date of the letter
dated November 16,2004. As the weather changed and the ground froze,the City
anticipated that the correction would occur as soon as possible in the spring of 2005. At
your request,the City did a copy of the communication to the fence installer noted upon
the permit for the fence installation.
As of this date I have not yet been contacted as to the fence relocation,nor have I
observed that its location has been corrected. Kindly take the necessary steps to have the
fence relocated so that it complies with the 3-foot minimum, setback as established by
City of Oak Park Heights Ordinance no later than May 6,2005. In addition,your
firewood storage shall also be placed no closer than 3-feet from the property line. Failure
to comply will necessitate my seeking legal recourse as available for a misdemeanor
offense.
If you have any questions regarding this letter,contact me immediately.
S�ce�t'ely,
' 4,/
