July 25, 1990 Ci ty ot Raseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Raseville, MR 55113 City Council Members, Bnclosed, you will tind a 8ite plan ot the existing driveway and garage as they are now, s~ photographs ot the property as it is now, and a propoaect site plan. fte purpo_ ot including photograpb8 i8 to try and sbow the nine toot elevation ot the lot. As you can He, IIY existing driveway is not only steep and in need at repair, halt at the driveway i8 not on my property. I am asking you, the Council, to allow _ to build a garage and drivewaI a8 shown in the proposed site plan. The variance tor the garage s due to the tact ot not being able or practical to put tbe garage on tbe water side ot the lot, whicb is considered tbe backyard. fte variance tor the driveway, being tbr_ teet ott the property instead ot tive teet, would allow a wider awing into tbe tront doors ot tbe garage. Al80 8bown in tbe proposed site plan are retaining walls. ftis would bec~ necessary, as I would like to dig down the yard at tbe point ot tbe garage and driveway levels to uke a IlUcb IDOre gradual approach up the driveway. fte existing garage is on the property line. I would like to be able to build tbe new garage at the legal setback ot tive t..t in order to keep tbe driveway length at tbe sixty-eigbt teet, as shown in the propo88d site plan. Setting tbe proposed driv8Way and garage back any clo_r to tbe existing bouse would -.n Imre digging costs, concrete, and retaining walls. ftus, becOlling a tinancial hardsbip tor _ as I already have tive bundred square t_t ot concrete and titty teet ot IlUltiple-layer retaining walls in the "rigbt ot way" area between tbe street and wbere my lot begin. at tbe top ot tbe bill. I would appreciate your taking the.e varianc.. under consideration. Thank you. Bradley A. Bott 1897 Shady Beacb Avenue Josev!lle, MI 55113 (612) 488-9900
