City Planner <br />RoscvUle City <br /> <br />Fax: <br /> <br />4.90-2931 <br /> <br />Phone: 490-2236 <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Stuart and Carole Sellars <br /> <br />Dear Kim. <br />Thank yotl for you r fax of 7/3/97 concerning our application for a <br />variance. Wr. \-'-'ere very disappointed in the rr.('omm~ndat1ons as outlined in <br />the "Request lor Planning Commission Action - particularly since you and <br />Gordon Besel h had both indicated the l1kel1hood of approval for OUf request. <br />Perhaps the architect got carried away a bit and did not Hlustrate what <br />we h;10 tn mind and hopefully that is a factor at this time. <br />There l1rr several factors which are important to us and include the <br />following: <br /> <br />1, we wish to retain a buildiri~ to act as a Visual barrier to overlooking <br />the property next door. Removal of the accessory building and adding an tn- <br />Une addition would prov1de too open a View and lessen the wind protection <br />presen tly afforded by the eX1stlng stnIcture, <br />2, We' believe the in-line dddition would not prov1rl~ thp ktno of <br />l1V1n~;Iworklng space we envisioned for office / solanum. <br />3. w(' planned an addition that would be in line with the neighbor's <br />house, extending a similar amount in front of the main house. <br />4. w(" plcHH1Cd an extension that would improve the house. useo.bitty dnd <br />appearance. while trying to m1n1Inize the expense. <br /> <br />, <br />'--> <br /> <br />Without. the requested vartance we need to relook at how best to use the <br />existing st.rur-turc, If it 1s impractical to provice a pennanent joining of the two <br />eXisting buildings. can they be jOined by canvas or other fleXible JOInts? <br />Presumably we don't need a vartance to upgrade the existing accessory bulldlng <br />with insulation? <br />Again. T'm not sure we would have proceeded with the request for a <br />variance. spent lhe money on the appl1catton or hired an architect tfyou would <br />have indicatcd anything other than a positive response, <br />We belicve we need to delay the request for a variance to another meeting <br />to r~con~1rlpr how to pT~sent our case differently. Attached is our response to <br />the commen ts S1.) ppl1ed in your fax. <br />I will c(\II~,;ou Monday. July 7. to discuss the next step. <br /> <br />Yours Sincerely, <br /> <br />Carole and Stuart Sellars <br />
