The proposed new 2-car garage would enhance property values because of enhancing the appearance, function, and total value of applicant's home, while not adversely affecting the neighboring properties. Applicant has lived in the subject location for seventeen years wi thout a garage. Having a garage, and other required driveway changes as described below, would serve to draw applicant's routine car parking to a better location on the property, away from the nearby bedroom window of the neighbor on the north side. Applicant understands that, as part of the procedure if the garage is approved, that a new rectangular parking/turn-around area would be required as shown on the site plan. CUrrently there is no turn-around, and applicant has to back out onto Lexington Avenue. with the required parking area in place, driving out of the property onto Lexington Avenue will be much safer. Also, the resulting new parking area will, along with the garage, contribute to shifting the usual parking spots away from the neighbor's bedroom window. Applicant further understands that, if the garage is approved, the driveway and new parking area will be required to be surfaced with either concrete or asphalt. The garage roof will be drained by a gutter system, designed in such a way as to ensure that the runoff would be steered away from the neighboring property, to an approved drainage system draining applicant's garage and driveway area.
