1 ~V02/02 13: 15 PALADIN ~ 6514902931 NO.316 [;102 Narrative In March 2003, we will have lived in our house on Evelyn for 10 years. The house waS built in 1977 and when we first purchased it we had intended for it to be our "starter" house. Four years ago we finished the lower level ofthe house and added an office entertainment area and finished the roughed in bathroom. Since that project was finished we have looked at the existing market and have determined that for a house our size in Roseville the dining room seemed the only area that was too small for our needs. We entertain frequently and know the expanded space would allow us to stay in this particular house for years to come. We have come to love all the parks and amenitje~ that are so close to our front door. We appreciate how well RosevilJ e maintains its streets and its services such as plowing, recycling and leaf removal are excellent. We are not able to expand the dining room area upw8xd or on either side, our existing dining area is on the back of the house and to reconfigure the bedroom on the front of the house into a dining area would be a major interior remodeling project. The logical place for the expansion would be on the back of the house which is already in violation of me 30 foot setback code. The other violation we need to consider is percent of structure to lot. I have calculated the square footage of the structures on the old site plan that no longer exist (see note on new site plan) to be 300 square feet and the the new structure would be 320 square feet. lam hoping that the extra 20 square feet wOllld be considered minimal. I think our percentage of structure to lot is also in line if not a small er percentage compared with neighboring homes. We are hoping that the addition will keep uS in tine with the newer market homes being built in the surrounding suburbs and keep us in the Roseville area far years to come. Thank you, Martha and John Seal
