<br />Variance Request <br />Narrative <br /> <br />Re: Construction of three-season porch/deck at 998 Brooks Avenue West, Roseville <br /> <br />We are requesting a variance to construct a three-season porch/deck on the Aglen side of <br />our home because: <br /> <br />Building on the front (Brooks Avenue side) of the house would block the windows <br />that provide a view of Bennett lake from existing rooms. Construction on the front <br />would also require a variance regarding the setback. <br /> <br />Building on the east side of the house would require access through either the garage <br />or master bedroom, neither of which is acceptable for a three-season porch/deck that <br />will be used for dining and entertaining. <br /> <br />Building on the back of the house (south side) is not possible because we are already <br />very close to our neighbors to the south. The backyard is very shallow. <br /> <br />Building a second story is cost prohibitive. <br /> <br />In addition to improving the appearance of the house from Aglen, construction on the <br />Aglen side would provide: <br /> <br />. Access from the dining room/living room, which is ideal for dining and <br />entertaining <br />. Additional living space without blocking any existing windows or views of <br />Bennett Lake <br /> <br />Prepared by Kara Rose, homeowner, 12/5/03 <br />
