GERALD A, VOERMANS <br />March 9} 2003 <br />Roseville Community Development Department <br />Development Review Committee <br />2660 Civic Center Die <br />Roseville, N24 55113 <br />Subject: Vadmce Application — Hardship Narrative <br />Dear Committee Members: <br />Please grant a variance for the property located at 1251 Roma Avenue for the following reasons; <br />The residence was onginally built with a detached garage located behind the house, This preexisting <br />house /garage configuration has resulted in an unusually long driveway which is causing the site total impervious <br />surface to exceed the Maximum Total Surface Area (1004.01 A6). <br />One of the current cidsting hedrooms is 99 square feet, which is small by today }s standards. The addition <br />will increase that bedroom to 117 square Feet, which is up to currmt standards.. <br />The residence was built in 1953 and has never been upgraded. This addition upgrades the major elements <br />of the house (Idtchen, bathrooms and bedrooms). We will be upgrading the exterior envelope to be more in <br />line with current energy codes. Finagy, the addition is designed to blend in with the existing neighborhood. <br />We have lived its this neighborhood since 1487 and our family has outgrowrm the Moose, We wih have to <br />consider moving our of the community if the isnprovement is not executed. <br />The driveway will have to be reconfigured to meet the Maximum Total Surface Area regm- ernent. A <br />passible option for diis could be 18 -inch wide paved strips up to the garage. Although this would allow us to <br />meet the requirement, we hope that we will not have to explore options such as this. <br />Sincerely, <br />-� t1a' "-,A <br />Gerald A.
