-� --- While we enjoy our current house and its location in Roseville, the small kitchen as well as the lack of the storage area has been a constant problem: there is no basement and the crawl space is not very functional. As our children have grown, the issue has been more problematic to our family. The possible directions to extend the kitchen are to the west and south sides. The extension to the south (rear) side leaves at least 35 ft for the distance from the proposed structure wall to the property line, which does not raise any issues. The extension to the west causes the setback issue, leaving 5'/z feet for the distance from the proposed structure wall to the property line. We think that the following ten site conditions apply to our setback permit request: •(b) The proposed project creates larger kitchen space where all family members often spend time together. A comfortable kitchen and dining area will not only increase livability, but will serve to build a stronger family relationship. Furthermore, our house does not have a basement. It only has a crawl space. The proposed project will allow for a much-needed easy-access storage area around the kitchen. •(c) The drain tile and sump pump will be installed to guide water away from the house foundation if it rains. •(e) Yes, our proposal retains 75% of the previous surface and 93% of the green lot. •(fl This setback permit is the only request related with the proposed project. •(g) The extended kitchen area will offer much practical use in many aspects of our family's everyday life. •(h) We know where we can find and purchase roofing and siding materials that match exactly with the current color and structure. •(i) We use the same exterior and foundation structure as the neighbor's house. •(j) The proposed project does not place additional vehicles closer to living quarter first floor bedrooms of the neighbor's house. •(k) The proposed plan will ensure that the gutters guide away from our and our neighbor's house. •(1) The integration of the new roof with the existing roof will be designed by a building expert. The design should be safe and look natural and seamless. As I stated earlier, I am willing to accommodate any reasonable neighbor's request so that the project best promotes the neighborhood's overall environment.
