In order to do this, I needed a minor variance <br />from the city building; cocle and your acceptance. You were unwilling <br />to provide agreement to r;y request; however, mY desire and need for <br />this modification continues. <br />I discussed l,ty plan with the ?oseville Gity 'larrnirly CuruAttee on <br />?,larch 14, 1984. 1'lrey felt my plan was very reasonable, and the <br />request for variance from the code Was quite minor. because of <br />your previous reluctance to approve, they indicated I should talk <br />with you again sharing; the following facts. Distances as little <br />as five feet between property line and perr:iarient ►galls are commonly <br />approved by the city. .►great many variances are requested and <br />approved for this type of inodification; greater than (KO' of the <br />requests are approved and rarely would the planning; corwlittee and <br />city council riot ap;!rove such a reasonable lArlor request. 1n _pact, <br />the City of "oseville encourages property improvements of this nurture <br />and specifically encoura"es convertin; single car gnr►o(,es to double <br />car ;rara,Tes for the fo.11owing;- reasons: <br />ft. <br />l0 L <br />ley reCO <br />c( <br />UU <br />thus the ,ie�26 fur are .s to <br />ar .
