Dear Mr. Barsness: The City of Fridley has established a City Code for the purpose of promoting a pleasant and attractive suburban environment. A recent inspection of the property at 6581 Central Avenue revealed that not all Code requirements are presently being met. Listed below are items which do not comply with the City Code: 1. Fridley City Code requires that all vehicles must be currently licensed/street operable and kept on a hard surface parking area if they are stored outside. I observed two jeeps (including JDY-764) located along the south side of your property which do not fully meet these requirements. 2. Discontinue outside storage of assorted materials located across the property. Your prompt attention in correcting this situation would greatly assist us in helping make Fridley a better place to live. An inspection will be conducted on or about May 9, 1994, to determine compliance. If you have questions or would like to discuss this, please contact me at 572-3595.

Dear Mr. Barsness: In November of 1996, you were contacted regarding several outside storage issues at 6581 Central Avenue NE., Fridley. As city staff discussed these issues with you and met with you at the property, you proposed that a fence could be constructed to screen any questionable materials. Initially, this was not a viable option, however, after further review I have been authorized to grant an extension to June 1, 1997, at which time a final inspection will occur and full compliance is expected. The June l, 1997, compliance deadline is not a fence construction deadline. It will be expected, however, that the exterior stora.ge of materials, with the exception of boats, trailers (empty), and stacked firewood, will be discontinued by this date. Constructing a fence to screen any questionable materials from the public right of way is an option, but not a requirement. Simply removing all improperly stored materials or placing them in a garage is also an acceptable alternative. Piease be reminded that full code compliance at the time of the June 1, 1997, inspection will be expected. Should any outside storage violations remain, legal action will be approved. Enclosed for your review is a copy of the residential district outside storage requirements. If you have any questions or concerns prior to the June l, 1997, feel free to contact me at 572-3595.

Councilman Schneider has requested that staff review your fence plans and provide feedback to assure that the fence is installed properly. The purpose of this letter is to summarize the City fence requirements and to provide information regarding code requirements for outdoor storage. FENCE Prior to Councilman Schneider's request, staff had visited you at your site regarding your fence. Though the fence had not been installed yet, our staff did have the opportunity to walk the site and view the string lines (where the fence would be installed). We discussed the basic fence elements outlined in the City Code. These are: • A fence bordering side and rear lot lines shall be no more than 7' high. • A fence bordering the front lot lines shall be no more than 4' high. • All fences must be located entirely upon the property of the person for which the installation is being completed. • Every fence shall be constructed in a substantial manner of substantial materials and shall be maintained in condition of reasonable repair. Staff pointed out that it is imperative that you know where your property stakes are. You had responded that your fence installer was requiring that same boundary identification prior to their installation of the fence. We had an opportunity to revisit your site upon Councilman Schneide�'s request. At the point, the first two fence sections were installed. The location of the sections did coincide with your string locations and thus far the fence heights were Curt Barsness April 14, 1996 PAGE 2 correct. Again thank you for your cautious approach as you install your fence. If you have further questions, piease feel free to contact me at 572-3595. OUTDOOR STORAGE Regarding outdoor storage, all properties are to be maintained in a manner that assures that there is no unscreened storage of materials outdoors with the exception of: boats, trailers (empty), or neatly stacked firewood, in the side or rear yard. Please make certain that even with your new fence, outdoor stored materials are not visible from the public right-of-way. Thank you.

FRIDLEY, Mti ij-�;? •(G1Z) i71-3-350 • FAX (612) 571-12H7 April 11, 1997 Curtis Barsness 6581 Central Avenue NE Fridley, MN 55432 Subject: Fence Construction Project / Screening of Outside Storage. Dear Mr. Barsness: At Councilmember Dennis Schneiders request, city staff has reviewed and discussed your plans for a screening fence as it applies to the outside storage screening requirements. As you know, the City Code requires all materials to be screened from the public right-of-way with the exception of boats, trailers (empty), and stacked firewood. Taking this code requirement into account, as well as the type of screening fence you have selected and the location you have indicated the fence shall be placed, city staff believes the fence will provide an adequate means of screening materials you choose to store in your yard. Keep in mind, however, that all materials shall be located behind the fence, shall not be stacked higher than the fence and shall not be visible from any public right of way. Upon final completion of the fence, any items that remain visible shall be relocated to an area of the property where proper screening is available. As we have previously discussed, as long as the fence is substantially constructed, located entirely on your own property, and at a height not to exceed 7 feet in the side or rear yazd, and 4 feet in the front yard, the fence code requirements are being met. As with any fence, continued maintenance will be necessary. Slating materials in a chain link privacy fence such as yours are often subject to cracking and breaking, you may wish to keep an extra supply of slating materials for replacement purposes. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 572-3595. Thanks for your continued cooperation.
