City of RoseviHe Community Development Department 2660 Civic Center Drive RoseviHe, MN 55113 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to you concerning the Conditional Use Permit application for the property located at 2824 Lakeview A venue, in Roseville. As requested, we are providing a more detailed explanation. We are requesting a garage that is 1008 sq. ft., which is allowed by the city with a Conditional Use Permit. We need a larger garage than the standard 864 sq. ft. to store our 2 vehicles, 2 motorcycles and a boat. The one stall of the new garage we are proposing that measures 30 feet deep is necessary - do to the length of the boat being 28 feet. We believe that our property would look much nicer and cleaner if we are able to store these items inside a garage, rather than parked in various places in the front yard. We are temporarily storing our boat off site, but when we bring it home this summer - even if we try to park it in the current garage, it sticks out past the doorway - and we are also then left parking both vehicles outside. Since our property is not located on the public street and it is not vary visible, the new garage will not affect the look of the standard houses on the block. Our house is behind another house which utilizes nearly the full width of their property, which is the same width of our property which is directly behind them - making our house hidden from view of the street. In fact the new garage will be positioned vertical to the road, instead of horizontal, so it will not be obvious that it is wider than the standard 864 sq. ft. until you are on our driveway. We also have a large enough front yard that we believe the placement of the new garage can be made much more urganomic and aesthetically pleasing. The current garage is located right in the middle of the front yard, not only blocking the view of the front of the house - but also of the front yard ugly. We will be building the new garage off to the side of the front yard - which will actually give us some front yard. This, in turn, makes our house look better than our current situation. Please consider this - along with the many drawings we have provided to the city and the photos included with this second application - and grant us a Conditional Use Permit. Thank you, Russell Cattelan Margo Cavis t' l I " t.. ,t-' J~ teV "' ;f /1//1/1 7Jl;J i/ &-- / lft~!~,vt~~ /
