April 11, 2003 Roseville Community Development Department 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, IN 55113 Dear Planing Commission: The original Borne was built with a small, single car, attached garage that measures 12 feet by 20 feet. I am proposing to remove this garage and built a larger detached garage in the rear of my yard. This structure would measure 26 feet by 28 feet for a total of 728 square feet. This size is necessary to accommodate two vehicles and one boat. According to Section �` - 1004.0 1A3 (Detached Accessory Building Size) I am only allowed to built a structure totaling 720 square feet. I am requesting a variance for the additional eight feet. In addition, I am also proposing to widen the driveway by three feet, placing it three feet from the east property line. This is needed so that vehicles can safely travel P ast the house and side doorsteps and enter the garage. Furthermore, the impervious surface of the entire yard is currently 30%. According to Section 1 004.01 A6 (Maxjmwn Total Surface Area), the original structure and driveway y account for the entire allowable coverage. As a result., any improvements whatsoever would vioiate this Section. I am requesting a variance to allow me to increase the impervious surface to 43.4%. The City of Roseville requires that ` &inoperable and unlicensed vehicles be parked in the garage. Boats may be stored in side or rear yards... non - motorized campers and trailers may be stored in side or rear yards." The vest side of the property is too na.fxow to allow access to the rear yard. On the cast side of my property there is a steep hill that p reverts me from accessing the rear yard. Placing a lamer garage further back allows for essential storage and proper access to the rear of mfr yard. Sincerely, John lentfield
