<br />Dlear Minor Variance Com *ttee:
<br />We are applying for a two foot variance order to build an attached garage within thre....
<br />ei
<br />feet of the side lot hine.i We own and live in the home at 1765 Chatsworth Street North.
<br />omestead
<br />We purchased the priolperity "in August of 191912�.1 It had been a non-h rental
<br />property for, many yearsi.
<br />Gi a
<br />Currently the Propeirty has no gariage and, a, graviel driveway. A minor variance
<br />it
<br />si
<br />I.. as approved in June of 1989 to the previous 'owner (see attachment). This granted a two
<br />10
<br />o Variance zor the dri'veway and street cut-louti We Would like to continue the line of the
<br />6 Mi
<br />existing drivieway, into a new garage.
<br />1 1
<br />Our neighbors. on that side (south) have no, object'lonsi to our plan. We have shown them
<br />100%
<br />where the building would, be, it approved. Please see the attached letter from Clara
<br />vi
<br />Laelffelmacher at 1757 Chatsworth St., N indicating i i They have a chain link
<br />fence on their lot, placed 1 foot, in,, so the proposed, building would stand four feet from the
<br />fence.
<br />I I our property.. By
<br />Wei have look,eld at many dffferent, options for placement of' a garage on
<br />attaching the garage toi the side of the house we accomplish severial things,-,
<br />We could, retain a beautiffal map�le tree that would have to, come down if we placed a
<br />in diameter.
<br />gariage in, the back yard. The tree, trunk is approximately 1,8
<br />4 in
<br />We would retain the open view of several adjacent yards, by not constructing out
<br />the biack yardi We are located one house 'in from the c�orner of Roma and
<br />Chatsworth, so we are part of several, backyards grouped together.
<br />It would be far more expensive for, us to build, a garagein the back yard. The grade
<br />drops several feet to the rear of the lot., It, would, be more expensive to construct a
<br />concrete folun,da,tion/wal,l, at the black, of' the garage. This would also be much uglier
<br />for the neighbors and the garage would appear to be much higher.
<br />We have, planned the proposed, garage to be set back ten feet from the front of our house.
<br />This would, reduce the look of plainness across, houses and the feel of closeness (see
<br />drawin'g), M,slo I
<br />,, the neighbors to the south have their, garage on the north sede of their
<br />home. The proposed, garage would therefor. be next to their garage, and not obstruct any
<br />0
<br />view friom their living space.
<br />Thank you fo P
<br />r your consil" dera,tion on, this, matter. lease call, 'if' you would like any
