-. � We have paid for and submitted professional plans that would allow us to address the problems stated. The plans call for a laundry room addition which would extend about eight feet into the current garage and extending the current gazage to the south eight feet. This would allow us to keep the current drain system and water supply from the laundry room and correct the vent system by moving the vent to a side wall and venting only six to eight feet insiead of forty plus feet. The gazage floor would be removed and footings would be extended to the south and east to stop the sinking of the garage floor as well as water intrusion in the basement due to the standing water inside the garage. Extending the garage to the east by 10 feet would create and additional third sta11 and wrrect the grading problem by ]eaving only eleven feet +/- to the slope to the east where the city sewer and curb and gutter can be utilized. Current building regulations do not allow for this repair due to the proximity to the street. We request a variance to the current regulation. This gazage and laundry room addition would not adversely affect any neighbor or views. To the immediate east is a vacant lot. To the north, the neighbor would not be affected as the front of the home would extend beyond the proposed garage addition. The traf'fic along the comer of Judith Avenue and Aglen Street would not be impeded by view or obstructed in any way. This addition would also allow us to circumvent soon to be problems with storage and caz storage. The current car storage allows for only two cars. Within the next three yeazs, our family will have an additional driver and one more driver two years after that. The neighborhood is growing and current has six teenage drivers and in the next three yeazs the number will reach twenty teenage drivers. Street pazking and caz storage is a problem. The gazage will also allow for storage of items currently kept in the back yazd in plain view of neighbors to the north. We aze asking for the approval knowing that the current Supreme Court ruling limits such additions. We aze fully aware that this will not only enhance our properties value, it will increase our taac burden. The addition will also include updating the exterior of the home with a new roof and roof line as well as siding creating improved curb appeaL It is our hope and desire that this plan aad cost not only cures the problems causing us from enjoying our property, it will also relieve the stress and costs for the next buyer to enjoy. The variance if granted would still leave an east side yazd of 31 feet from the proposed gazage to the edge of the lawn and from the south portion of the garage, the yard and drive space would be 39 feet to the south remaining. Photos have been included of the repair items and views showing that the neighbors would not experience harm in any way. Thank you for your help and consideration of this matter.
