To Whom it May Concern, <br /> <br />I am requesting a variance for an extension on the garage structure located at 1434 County Rd E West, <br />Arden Hills. I am asking to be able to build the additional space to provide a clean and safe environment <br />for my family and the public. Since putting the sidewalk in, in front of our home there has been an <br />increase in foot traffic which has made it difficult to safely back out or move our vehicles. This request <br />would allow us the additional space needed to not have to worry about people walking by or potentially <br />being in the way of vehicles or personal property. <br />I’m building a maximum allotted size garage just like my neighbor has but I’m asking to make it slightly <br />bigger to compensate for some of the square footage that was taken with the sidewalk install that we <br />were not aware of prior to buying the house. <br /> <br />2. A. reasonable use. I’m using it to store my boat and family vehicles. <br />2. B. The property hardship is unique because there is a lot of foot traffic and vehicle traffic as this is one <br />of the busiest streets in Arden Hills. Me not being able to store my property inside is a safety issue for <br />me and my family. <br />2. C. If anything the character of my neighborhood will improve because I will be able to have my <br />property stored inside and you will not be able to see the addition from the street. <br />3. I don’t believe this applies to me as I don’t have an economic difficulty. <br /> <br />Thank you in advance for your consideration, <br /> <br />Keith Sandahl
