Title
Appeal of Mark E. Tobin-Cortez to a Fence Issue for property at 605 Iglehart Avenue (Ward 1)

Address
605 Iglehart Avenue

Purpose of Appeal
Order to move a fence: My wife Lenore and I feel we should not have to move the fence because it was put in place to separate our dogs from our neighbors at 603 Iglehart because of the threats they have made against us and our dogs. My wife bought the house at 605 Iglehart in June 2001 and has had dogs ever since. Arthur (now dead) started living at 603 Iglehart in 2004. On May 26, 2006 Arthur threatened to decapitate our dog Hershey. To protect our dogs and ourselves as well as any and all guests of 603 we have had a fence installed. Prior to putting the fence in, Arthur built a storage shed in our back yard. The property may look large, but after you get the true picture. The orage section is 80 feet deep and our side is 70 feet long which is deeded rec area to be used by both households. In front of 605 was deeded for easement for 603 Iglehart. Which leaves 34 feet by 70 feet for 605 to call our own and have outside room for our dogs as well as us. We have an active order for protection against Delise Porter, aka Delise Anderson. We have a photo of the pink substance that was thrown into our yard. Delise told us that it has been antifreeze each time. This has happened three different times. Saint Paul Police were called each time but no reports were made. Arthur's shed was in our yard for over a year before he moved it. The fence in question has two of our dogs pictured in it. The white Westie is Diva and the brown one is Hershey. Sincerely, Mark E. Tobin-Cortez.
