<br />Planning Application Narrative <br /> <br />The size of our lot, located at 3030 Little Bay Road in Roseville, is approximately 140' X 160' <br />(See property sketched attached). We have a one and one half brick and stucco house located on <br />the property which we purchased November 6th 1990. The existing property is zoned residential <br />and will remain as such. <br /> <br />We would like to construct an in-ground wading pool in the back of our house 4 1/2' deep. The <br />variance is being requested because the pool will be constructed 36 1/2' to 48' to the shoreline. <br />The ordinance states that 75' is the limit. <br /> <br />Twenty to thirty years ago the owners of homes located on Little Bay Road had the Bay enlarged <br />by dredging it. The consequence of this left our property at 3030 Little Bay Road 18' to 24' of <br />less land. If we had that land, we would be very close to meeting the 75' variance requirement. <br />Because of the dredging, we are unable to swim in the bay area, it is too muddy. <br /> <br />./ <br />We have ten grandc~ildren, and are very cognizant of the safety requirements of a pool. The <br />pool will be equipped with an automatic cover, which will be in place any time the pool is not in <br />use. The cover, when in place, is strong enough to walk on. At our former residence, we had an <br />in-ground pool for 19 years. We are very aware ofthe pros and cons of pool ownership. <br /> <br />I have recently had open heart surgery. Walking and swimming in the pool has been <br />recommended by my doctor as excellent therapy. <br /> <br />If there are any other matters regarding the planning application, please call me at 484-7890. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />I!!!!IJfJ~ <br />
