existing The existing attached garage is square feet; this would allow 980 square feet for the proposed structure. Based upon your recommendation, we will keep our plan for the new structure under 980 square feet. Therefore, we will not be requesting a variance from this section of the city code. -In our letter dated December 29,2003, we noted that we would be requesting a variance to the city code in order for us to build a detached garage that would lie between the front property line and the front of the home. Not only would this site create less ofa financial hardship than any other site on the property, this site will not impact existing trees or shrubs or create run-off problems. Without this variance, we would be forced to build in the backyard. The existing steep slope from the front yard to the backyard would be very difficult to overcome. We have only lived in this house since September 30, 2003, but we have been told by neighbors that a "pooling effect" caused by water run-off occurs in our backyard, especially in the springtime. Additionally, without this variance, the driveway that would lead to the garage in the backyard would pass close-by the living quarters of our next-door neighbor. -Our home and existing garage has gabled roofs. We plan to keep the proposed structure similar in nature to the existing structures. Though we currently do not have specific plans drawn for the new structure, we do not foresee a need for a variance in the city code reprding the height of the proposed structure. We have included additional information on the drawings that were submitted with the December 29,2003 letter. We hope that this letter, and the letter dated December 29, 2003, will serve as narratives for the two applications. Please let us know if you are in need of any additional information. Sincerely, ..." ../..........-W ~C~ JJ-~~, ~vJ Christopher E. and Noelle A. Olson (651) 697-1626
