PAGE. 3 <br />TYPE OF RELIEF BEING SOUGHT: <br />We are requesting a variance fora permit to extend our fence to enclose the balance <br />of our property. In doing so, we will remove an old fence that is six feet into the street right <br />of way. We have recently assumed responsibility for Lots 4 and 5 after an exhaustive 18 <br />month search for owners -or heirs._ The property had been used as a trash dumping site until <br />we removed all the debris, mowed and paid the back taxes on it. We recently had an <br />irrigation meter installed on Lot 4 by the city of LaPorte. <br />THE GROUNDS FOR THE REQUEST: <br />1. We received a valid fence permit in the spring of '96 to build our existing fence, thus <br />establishing an acceptable variance at 16.25 feet. <br />2. We want the fence to be in line with the existing fence and the front face of our house. <br />3. We want to protect our property from trash dumping which occurs often. <br />4. We want to protect our orchard and garden from neighbor's dogs and children who <br />pick our fruit and flowers. <br />5. We want to continue the upgrading of our neighborhood and we are supported in this <br />effort by our neighbors and friends on Y street. <br />6. The fence extension will in no way prevent off street parking. <br />7. The fence extension will in no way restrict the property from returning to a conforming <br />use. <br />CED/1-'87 <br />
