We wanted to check-in on the status of our revisions and <br />next steps as we have not heard back? Following our meeting with the commission, we were <br />able to revise our plans to address many of the concerns raised. I believe we eliminated 3 of <br />the 4 requested variances? We shortened the proposed garage by 2', bringing us less than the <br />15' and eliminating the line of sight issue. <br /> <br />On a separate, but important note of clarification, I found these pictures of 1973 Fagerness <br />before and after their recent remodel. The pictures seem to show that the garage remained <br />the same distance from the roadway. However, there is no question that they added <br />hardscape, built a 3 season porch, covered balcony, and even bumped out their living space <br />closer to the road. My point here is that our proposed remodel is still significantly farther <br />back from the roadway than our neighbor's recent remodel and we are within our hardscape <br />allowance. <br /> <br />I have now spoken with every neighbor on the point and they are all in support of our <br />project. Many have mentioned that this will be a nice addition as its similar to 1973 and <br />consistent with the neighborhood. In hindsight, we should have left our old garage where it <br />was. I just hope this does not prohibit us from the enjoyment and use of our property. <br /> <br />Let me know. Matt & Alissa Briggs <br />
