the additional hard surface driveway required by SITE 1 due to its proximity to the current driveway. This will ease drainage impact, lower coats, and reduce future maintenance needs, such as snow removal. Most irnportarrtly, SITE 2 alleviates the safety concerns created by SITE 1 by eliminating the Eft x 22.25ft "alley". SITE 2 would extend approximately 17.75ft closer to Victoria Street than the front line of my house. However, the extreme setback of my house and attached garage would keep SITE 2 approximately 9.98ft behind the minimum building setback fine. My neighbor to the north has an attaehed garage built at of near the Soft setback line, so SITE 2 would be approximately 9.9 8 behind my neighbor's stMcture. The previously mentioned properties that lead me to propose SITE 2 are: 2469 Ha aline in Roseville — A second 2 +ear garage, detached, and with a second floor, built completely in front of the existing house. 3154 and 3316 Victotia, both in Shoreview — These 2 properties are located within 3 blocks of my property, and both have a second 2 car detached garage located completely in front of the respective houses. All of these properties have the second garage door facing perpendicular to the attached garage. They are all attraztive properties, and do not detract fronn the neighborhood. I have included pictures with this application showing the approximate location of SITE on my lot. There are also pictures showing the sitelines from the ]E and SE corners of SUE 2 showing the view towards the nearest neighbors. Victoria Street contains a wide variety of housing, from size, price, and age, to setback and elevation. This is what gives Victoria Street a unique character. SITE 2 will fit to well with, and even add to, that character w1file eliminating the negative aspects of the only other possible site. (all dimensions referring to the location of the building sites are listed as approximate because they are based solely on the 6/1990 survey by Advance Surveying)
