We really don't want to change the landscape, jnst improve the <br />property. <br /> <br />WRITTEN STATEMENT: <br />We request a variance for the purpose of rebnilding our current garage at its present location. <br />Present day zoning laws reqnire the garage to be set back 40' from the road This was not necessary when <br />the present garage was built. There is a large and beautiful shade tree directly behind the corrent garage <br />which we would like to protect. <br />The current garage is 24' wide and 28' long. We would like to replace this with a new garage of <br />the same size with vinyl siding to match our home . The new building will be the same length as the current <br />garage, but will be built with regular trusses which are much lower than the current garage. The old garage <br />is actnally a converted barn and has a complete floor above the main garage level. Visually, the new <br />garage will be less obtrusive. <br />Also, we believe bnilding the new garage on the old site would be more aesthetically pleasing to <br />those visiting Hazelnut Parle. A stand of trees helps hide the large structure we have there now and moving <br />the garage further east would give every pad<: visitor a full view of our new, but not elaborately fancy, <br />garage. The locatiou of our lot is adjacent to Hazelnnt Parle and Prior Ave stops at our driveway. <br />Consequently, the garage will not took incongruent with the other houses on the street. <br />Our neighbors are pleased that we will be tearing down the old garage, as it is deteriorating rapidly <br />and is beyond repair. (The roof needed repair many years prior to our ownership of the property and there <br />is too nmch water damage to repair the structure.) <br />
