Re: Minor Variance; Driveway Stephen and Virginia Leutgeb 3066 N. victoria st. To whom it may concern: This v~riance is necessary in order to replace the existing driveway in its current dimensions. No increase in size from the present driveway is being sought. The existing driveway has deteriorated over time, with significant uneven and cracked asphalt and concrete. In dry weather it is unattractive; in wet weather its uneven surfaces form large, deep puddles that children and ducks have been known to play in. The apron from the driveway to the street, which is not being replaced, has a width of 27 1/2 feet. The width of the existing driveway continues at 27 1/2 feet for a length of 33 1/2 feet. It then narrows to 20 feet at the approach to the garage (seè A.C.T. sketch attached). The existing driveway will be removed and replaced, as opposéd to only being "capped" or "topped". A variance to permit the continuation of the current driveway dimensions will not adversely effect the aesthetics of the property. The design required without the variance, considering the apron to tþe street is not being replaced, would be a narrowing and then widening, sort of resemÞling a bump on a log ( ~ ). This would require additional landscaping workãs~l, to fill in the "bump". A down-payment of $309.00 was made in July, 1993, for the asphalt work to be done as sketched. Our interest is to improve the appearance of our property, which then reflects well on our neighborhood. We wish to remove an existing driveway whose condition is becoming an eyesore, with a shiny new exact replacement. Nothing fancy or elaborate. Nothing grandiose. Just the same old thing, only new. Your consideration of this request is appreciated.
