<br />My proposel of building an attached garage has a section of 12.5 square feet that has <br />need for a variance. The need is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and <br />spirit of the city. One way it keeps the character is by the flow of the other neighboring <br />houses, these houses all aligned with each other with porches around 35 feet and <br />attached garages around 37 feet from the 40 foot front setback. Another way of <br />keeping character and spirit is by keeping the original 1940's type look of the houses on <br />our street by continuing the garage as it is now, this would be an assest to the city. As a <br />note, it would be cheaper for us to build a detached garage in the back yard, $20,000 <br />compared to $32,000, but that would not keep the original character and would also <br />take considerable green space away. We enjoy the green space of our back yard. And <br />we enjoy the green space of the surrunding parks and would not want to move. We <br />think the green space of this property is one of its greatest assests and could not think of <br />distroying that by placing a garage in back. <br /> <br />0::/4;~ <br />
