To: Gem Lake City Planner, Planning Commission and City Council From: Gretchen. Artig-Swomley,. Gem hake resident Re: Details on Request for Second Garage on Property at 1430 Goose Lake. Road i moved into this property 20 years ago. It contained a House and two.guest houses. There was an existing garage and a shop..I am.now requesting the addition of another garage to handle the vehicles that are housed here. The garage. we have in mind will be built from a garage kit from Menards. Please see picture, We. are envisioning. the simplest possible. design —a 24 x 24.structure with a 6 2 pitch. Maximum height at peak is 18 feet. This. is lower than the nearby guest house; which is 22 feet high at peak. There is already an existing driveway up to the paint where the garage would reside. We planned to.. add the garage 18 years ago, but life got in the way. We had already put in 'the driveway with a future garage In mind. Therefore, we would only need to add a cement apron from the driveway into the garage itself. There. would be no sidewalks, no landscaping beyond what already exists in the immediate area. The garage would. be hundreds of feet from all property fines. it is perhaps 200 feet from a Wetland, .but this wetland is approximately 20 = 30 feet lower in .elevation that the site for the garage. Gera. Lake is approximately 600 feet away. Depending upon when the permit is granted we would begin construction this year with the :cement foundation. If a cement contractor cannot be scheduled, or weather intervenes,.we will start the project next spring. We project that lance the cement is in, we will need only three weeks to complete the jab.. There will be no insulation put in, and only.basic electrical needs required by the code. The siding will be smart side, selected to match the house and other buildings. There will be one double garage door and a. side service door The site for the. garage was cleared of buckthorn last year. However, we project that. at least 2 and.. possibly three trees will have to be removed to make way for the project.
