<br />July 25, 1990 <br /> <br />Ci ty at Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Raseville, HI' 55113 <br /> <br />City Council Members, <br /> <br />Encloaed, you will find a 8ite plan of the existing driveway and <br />garage aa they are now, aome photographs of the property as it i8 <br />now, and a propoaed site plan. The pUrPO.e of including <br />photographs i. to try and show the nine toot elevation at the lot. <br /> <br />As you can ..., my existing driveway i. not only 8teep and in need <br />at repair, half of tbe driveway is not on my property. <br /> <br />I am a.king you, the Council, to allow _ to build a garage and <br />dri vewaI a8 SbCMD in tbe propo.ed site plan. The variance tor the <br />garage . due to tbe fact of not being able or practical to put <br />tbe garage on the water .ide of the lot, which i. con.idered tbe <br />backyard. The variance for tbe driveway, being thr.. feet off tbe <br />property instead of five feet, would allow a wider swing into the <br />front doors of the garage. <br /> <br />Also 8bCMD in tbe proposed site plan are retaining wall.. This <br />would become necessary, as I would like to dig down tbe yard at <br />tbe point of the garage and driveway levels to uke a mucb more <br />gradual approacb up the driv8Way. The existing garage is on the <br />property line. I would like to be able to build the new garage at <br />the legal setback of five feet in order to keep the driveway <br />length at the sixty-eight feet, a. .hown in the proposed site <br />plan. <br /> <br />Setting the proposed driv8Way and garage back any closer to the <br />existing bouse would -.an more digging costs, concrete, and <br />retaining wall.. Thu., becoming a financial hardsb!p for.. as I <br />already have five hundred square f..t of concrete and fifty feet <br />of multiple-layer retaining walls in the "right of way" area <br />between tbe street and where my lot begins at the top of the hill. <br /> <br />I would appreciate your taking the.e variance8 under <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Bradley A.
