August 23, 2002 <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />Attn: Thomas Paschke <br />This correspondence is regarding a request for a variance for a garage at 1275 Burke <br />Avenue West. <br />I would like to build a garage that would serve as seasonal storage. After talking with the <br />neighbors who would be affected by this, we are a11 in agreement that we would like to <br />see the garage built in line with an e�sting garage of the neighbor directly north of our <br />property. (Please see plan) If this could be done; it would not change any of the <br />neighbors' view of yards, trees, etc. as well as keeping everything on the same plane. It <br />would a11ow us to do e�tensive landscaping thus making it very attractive from the street. <br />If the garage was to be built according to City of Roseville code, the neighbors to the east <br />and north would be looking at appro�mately 48 feet of garage, which they are both <br />opposed to, as it will not be as attractive and would give that "closed-in" feeling. <br />Another issue is one of drainage. All the properties to the east of us drain in one spot on <br />my properiy. To build a garage on that particular spot would create another drainage <br />problem. Building the garage per the enclosed plan would eliminate flooding. <br />When the home was built in 1979, plans for this garage had been approved for this <br />location because it was a good fit. Because of financial concerns, we did not go ahead <br />with the proj ect at that time. <br />I would appreciate your cooperation in this matter, so I could go ahead with the project <br />this fa11. Thank you. <br />Mike Strub <br />1275 Burke Avenue West <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />651-633-1334 <br />
