EXIflBITC <br />To whom it may concern. <br />August 16,2003 <br />We are requesting the variances needed to replace our existing, <br />twenty-five year old deck. It is starting to rot ,become dangerous, and must <br />be replaced. We plan to rebuild the deck "as is" as much as possible so as <br />not to disturb the existing shrubs and landscaping under the deck and add <br />any uimecessary, extra costs. <br />However, we have found over the years that the placement of the <br />sliding glass door that comes from our kitchen, onto the north end of the <br />deck, was both poorly designed and is unsafe, due to the fiict that it is <br />difficult to gate off the stairs from small children. Therefore we want to <br />extend this end of the deck by two feet, having it end just beyond the «l«Hin£ <br />glass door. Then we would either have the stairs rebuilt on that same end of <br />the deck or ideally, if given the variance firom the city, we would run the <br />stairs parallel off the front of the deck at that same end. Placing the stairs <br />there would make for an easier, shorter walk up the hill from the lake, whi< j <br />has become especially difficult for our senior parents. <br />In conclusion, we are asking the city for the variances we were told <br />we needed to rebuild our existing deck, extending it two feet on the north <br />end, and moving the stairs to make it both safer and more user friendly. <br />Thank-you, <br />Lissa and ^t Harvey <br />^ Ji <br />/ .• <br />\. <br />i
