Gentlemen:
The undersigned, owners of the property located at 246 Fairdale, Salina, Kansas,
hereby requests permission under K.S.A. 35-40 for the use of public property
for aesthetic purposes. Specifically, it is requested that we be permitted to
continue in place the rail fence that we have erected along the curb on Edgehill
which is north of our property and the same type fence erected on the west
side of the sidewalk on Fairdale Road.
In 1981 because of a petition filed by certain property owners, we were required
to put down a sidewalk on Fairdale Road which not only included the property
at 246 Fairdale but also the adjoining lot to the south which we also happen
to own. This came at a great deal of cost and expense to us including not
only the cost of the sidewalk itself but the necessity to remove and replace a
substantial portion of our underground sprinkling system which we had just
installed a few years earlier plus the cost of completely relandscaping the
property in order to tie it all in with the required sidewalk. As a part of
the landscaping we added the rail fence which we believe greatly beautifies
the corner of Fairdale Road and Edgehill. -As a matter of fact we take a great
deal of pride in keeping our property looking better than any other in the
city of Salina and we intend to continue it that way. We have gone to a great
deal of time, effort and expense to do so.
Because of the slope of the hill on our lot both on Fairdale and Edgehill we
believe there is absolutely no danger whatsoever from the fence. In other
words, we believe the fence does not obstruct vision which would in any way
create a traffic hazard at the corner of Fairdale Road and Edgehill. As a
matter of fact, there has been no accident there so long as we have lived here
and that will span 21 years in August.
We shall appreciate your favorable consideration of this request. If there's
any further information you need, please advise.
Respectfully submitted,
John W. Poos
