5/-1-f"'-<::{<2S \fay 15, 1998 \linor Va.ri,"Ulce Committee, City of Rosevilk \Ve request a variance so we can rephice our existing garage. We have spent a good part of die last five years remodeling our home and the last step is to up grade our garage. The existing garage has a crumbling concrete floor and block fOlll1dation stem walls that are kaning outward and badly cracked. Because this is a steep lake ITont lot, the garage is bem'cen the house and the road. We would propose to set it back ITom the prop~rty line thirteen feet, which would match the existing set back. It would also approximate the set back of our two neighbors garages on either side. Tnere are presently four garages in similar locations close to lIS. It is necessary for us to have a garage up by die road. Our lot is very steep (lower drive approximately I S~'o) and during the ",inter we do not park dmm by the house. In an emergency we would need to get a vehicle out to the road and could only be sure of being able to do this if we park up by the road. :\l.s(" mo\ing the garage further down the slope would require extensive excavation and/or fill. Our driveway would have to be extensively rebuilt and the part leading do"rn to the lower parking area would become excessively steep. We propose to build a three bay garage "'1th rlvo stalls accessed from the road and a third ITom the side. Tills third bay wouid be stepped down to foilow the existing slope. Thus the garage would look like a two C~ir garage tram the rront. W.:. leel we need the third bay for boat storage. We would like to avoid adding to il1.e sea of shoreline blue iaIps covering boats during th~ winter. We also need the (:)o,.1:[a storage fer large la<;V11 mowers, show blower and other tools n~cessary for a large steep lot like ours. \\'c have ~nduded some photos to illustrate our situation. We await your tavorable consideration. If you have any question please call 482-9084. ;; d. fld/ John Jakel and Monell Jakel i 1..- -"../_' ~... 1-:-: ',-'
