The expansion project would include the removal of a wall and <br /> structure design.iled as a "shed" on our survey, which itself I <br /> e;;tends several feet closer to the right-of-way than the <br /> proposed addition Hence, the net visual cff~ will be to <br /> increase rather than to d=ease the actual sctback I <br /> 4 The fact that the proposed construction will occur beneath the <br /> gnde of the adjacent property further rcduces any visual impact I <br /> caused by tbe expansion <br /> Regardmg the possibility of expanding the garage to the west as well ~ .. <br />to the ust, this is not practical {or the following reasons <br /> J, The west wall of the garage is a concrete block, load-bearing <br /> wall. Its removal would require additional I-beam support for I <br /> the house, wrjch would mak. the enlire project financially <br /> impractiC<ll. <br /> 2 The area in oW' home to the west of the existing garage walt is I <br /> currently used as our fi"onl entry, a wall::d laundry room and a <br /> walled bathroom. NOlle of those aru.s could tolerate I <br /> dimWsh<<l size. Moreovet, any significan1 alteration of the <br /> existing use of those areas would again cause the entire proj~t <br /> to be fuuncially impractical I <br /> Please let me know if the City or the Planning CommissioQer ha~e lUly <br />additional questions I do intend to be at tbe Planning Commission meC'ting or. 1 <br />Wednesday, September 4, 1996 in ease .omethicg come. up at that time.
