From: A. David Redisl- <br />Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2UUt3 7:16 AM <br />To: Bryan Lloyd <br />Cc: <br />Subject: Ke: Varfance request <br />Bryan -- <br />Thank you for talking to me about the variance yesterday. I don't <br />know if you got a chance to talk to the other planning staff about it, <br />but I wanted to let you know that I will be in and out of my office <br />in meetings all day today. I should be able to check email regularly, <br />however. <br />To reiterate some of the points made in our conversation, there really <br />is no where else on our house that we can put a sunroom. What we are <br />really trying to do is to make the small (and honestly rather ugly) <br />deck useful. Right now the deck is only four feet wide, which after <br />you factor in wall-thickness, etc., makes it too small to even put a <br />chair in. So that precludes just closing it up with walls. <br />Re: the option of closing the back concrete "patio" on the east side <br />of the house with walls. As I discussed with you, this has a number <br />of problems that make it impossible to use as a sunroom. First, <br />enclosing it would force the sunroom to effectively abut our neighbors <br />property. I don't know what the acceptable distance is, but if we <br />were to turn that into a sunroom, I'd feel uncomfortably close to our <br />neighbors yard. Second, that area gets very little sun. It is <br />blocked from the east by all of our neighbors on Ryan between Dellwood <br />and Fernwood. It is blocked from the south by the main part of the <br />house. It is obviously blocked from the west (by the pool extension). <br />It is even blocked from the north by our neighbors on Dellwood. <br />Third, it just isn't part of the flow of the house. At one time, <br />several summers ago, I tried to make it into a space to sit outside <br />(putting out patio chairs), and it just didn't work. It never got <br />used and the couple of times I used it, it was very uncomfortable <br />space. I should also mention that that's where all of our <br />air-conditioning and other ventilation units are. <br />Re: the option of cutting into the pool extension. Whoever built the <br />extension with the pool did an amazing job and built a single room. <br />But that means that the walls are structural. We really can't change <br />any of them. The whole concept of putting the sunroom where we are <br />suggesting is that we would not have to make any changes to the pool <br />room. Our plan is to not mess with the wall between the sunroom-to-be <br />and the pool extension at all. Yes, we will walk through the pool <br />extension to the new sunroom, but there's a second-floor landing <br />overlooking the pool that is very much part of the flow of the house. <br />The beauty of the plan to put the sunroom where it is that we even <br />already have an outside-quality door (to the old deck) that will lead <br />to the sunroom. (We are not even planning to change the door.) <br />I should also note that we can�t partition out a part of the pool <br />extension for the same reason because in order to provide light to <br />that partitioned-space, we'd have to cut into the walls and/or the <br />roof. Again, that would affect the structure of the <br />pool-extension-walls and be prohibitively expensive. Of course, most <br />of the pool extension is taken up by the pool and making changes to <br />that would be prohibitively expensive as well. <br />�„� 1 ,,,,� <br />
