As part of the total renovation at 2112 Spruce Street we are requesting a variance to build a back garden wall with roll up doors that matches in height and style with our neighbors. The current zoning requires a variance for walls higher than 6 ft high. The houses on our side of the street have garden walls varying in height from 9ft to 10ft-8in. We are requesting a 10ft wall with opaque doors for the privacy and safety of our family and our adjacent neighbors, who support our proposal.

We will have 2 state of the art roll-up doors (Nylofelt®running strips to provide smooth operation, rubber coated guied stops to prevent metal on metal contact)for car access to our garden. The Smart Garage Roll-up Door ultra-quiet motor produces about 63 decibels of noise, less than the decibel level of a normal conversation.

We will have two car lifts. The decibel rating for a PhantomPark lift is 80 decibels; however, our motors will be below grade on our property, greatly reducing the actual audible decibel level.

We appreciate your support.

The city planning board tried to ignore us but this surge of support proves they cannot pretend we do not exist. Their bureaucratic stalling ends now because we are demanding the privacy and safety we deserve.

Seems totally reasonable. If the neighbors already have 10ft walls then why is this even an issue. Just let them build it.

Honestly the city has nothing better to do than hassle people over a wall? Let them fix up their property in peace.

Im all for it. If they want quiet doors and a nice garden wall then let them have it. It will make the street look way nicer.

10ft is fine. My neighbor has one and you dont even notice it. Its for privacy anyway.
