Honorable Itolan It. Harman, .Jr
Mayor of Mission
6090 Woodson
Mission, KS 66202
Dear Mayor:
I live alone with my 17 year old daughter at 6007 West 57th Street. Our
home is on the southeast corner lot at 57th and beverly Streets.
I am requesting the ordinance governing fencing he waivered. My reason
is to force the foot traffic in the west sideyard farther ,away from our
horse. At present, this traffic is approximately five feet from each of
our bedroom windows and at times has been later than midnight. This is
very unnerving, to say the least.
I am having a 4' chain link fence erected six inches inside the back
property line. I would like to extend it 10' past the house which would
enable me to enclose the aforementioned bedroom windows.
I am inclosing a copy of my land survey with the proposed fencing outlined
in red. According to this land survey,if my request is approved, there
would be 35 feet visibility for vehicular traffic on 57th or Beverly
Streets.
Your consideration in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
