sunroom. I suppose you could argue that we don't really need to have <br />a sunroom at all, but as you mentioned, the house doesn't really meet <br />the current needs of modern housing. Current housing really <br />appreciates more external sun and windows than earlier construction. <br />Thank you for working with us on this. I hope that this narrative <br />helps provide a better explanation why the alternate options are not <br />viable and why applying the current rules would be a hardship. <br />(Denying the variance would mean that we could not build a sunroom <br />anywhere, nor could we even replace the deck, since the deck is too <br />small as it.) <br />PS. To address the one other option we discussed (which I admit was <br />not one you suggested) - extending the deck at ground level. This <br />would require stairs down. I have found that decks at different <br />levels from the main flow of the house get used much less rarely than <br />decks at the level of the flow of the house. Of course, an open deck <br />in Minnesota is going to be used much much less than an enclosed <br />sunroom. And you noted that extending the deck at the level of the <br />house would require a variance anyway. So that's not a viable <br />alternative either. <br />Thank you again. Please feel free to contact us if you have any <br />questions or more ideas. <br />David (and Laura) Redish <br />2 <br />�-. -�. <br />
