RE:
Construction of
new concrete wall
along port property line
e
of
new Beehive Credit
Union Building
Center Street
Dear Mr. Berger,
This letter written to reaffirm the previous dLscussxon
between you and I and alsothe earlier d iscussion between my -self
and Don Hammer at the time he was pouring the subject wall. As
we discussed, the City Zoning Ordinance, Section 4.7-B
Construct
. -
trut ion Requirements, sub sect mon a. - Frontage, states as
follows*
"The maximum height of any fence wall r other s ight
obstructing object within fifteen 1 feet of the
public right-of-way shall be three feet, Peaces shall
not be greater in height than eight feet."
The East edge of the Center Street Right-of-way i deet east
of the existing back- -sidewalk. indicated, the subject
all can not be more than 3 feet high within 15 feet cf the
rrt--way (or !+ 1 = 201 from the back of sidewalk).The
apparent. options are 1 cut the wall off down to a 3 foot
height* or o to the Planning & Zoni Committee and request
"variance" from the r finance to allowthe r
-constricted wail*
You will alsoneed to request approval from the Mayor and City
Count i l for the 51 of all that was constructed on street
right-of-way between the back -of -walk and the right-of-way line.
The original plans for the beehive Credit Union did not show
wall along the northerly property li- ne. Actually{ thei isng
residential use on the north should have been protected by a
"buffer zone" consistingof an approved fence or a 4 foot wide
landscaped strip planted with shade trees and low shrubs. see
attachedordinance, Sect ion A.1 - Parkina
Areas - Commercial, I r l Uses*) The residential use
to the south of your new building appears to be adequately
buffered by the landscaped strips that our plans show will b
constructed there around,.
Please call CILty Clerk,
discuss the subject wall
and the CityCouncil
Very Truly Yours,
Rose Bagley, to get on the agenda t

amity zoning ordinance we must cut down portion of the cement
U11 L1lu :riortn sine of our property-,
We are alsoaware that the alternative would be to annrnarr r�,a
city council tor a variance to this ordinance . The credit yyy�
union's hoard of directors meet on the 30th of dune. At that
time we will discuss our options and decide whir_, one . r,
Shortly tr�ereafter, we will either approach the planning and
zoning commission for a variance, or remove theportion of the
wall not in compliance. We are also warkirig with our generalI
contractor, 1�aMOnt Merrill to correct the other items on the
correction notice we received from you.
