Attachment C We have paid for and submitted professional plans that would allow us to address the pmblems stated. The plans catl for a laundry room addition which would extend about eight feet into the current garage and extending the current garage to the south eight feet. This would allow us to keep the curtent 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 instead of forty plus feet. The garage 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 stall and correct the grading problem by leaving only eleven feet +/- to We 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 regularion. This garage 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 gatage addition. The traffic along the corner of Judith Avenue and Aglen Sireet 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 car storage. The current car storage allows for only two cars. Within the next three years, 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 Uuee years the number will reach twenty teenage drivers. Street pazking and car storage is a problem. The gazage will also ailow for storage of items cutrently kept in the back yard in plain view of neighbors to the north. We aze asking for the approval knowing that the current Supreme Court niling limits such additions. We are fully aware that this wil! not only enhance our properties value, it will increase ow tax 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 and 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 yard of 31 feet from the proposed garage 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.
