Femdale Road. <br />I realise that 1 was completely wrong to enclose the area between <br />the two buildings without a permit. Obviously now I am sorry for <br />having done so, but at the time it didn't seem harmful to anyone. <br />Actually, as you can see by the attached photos, the addition <br />enhances the appearance of the buildings, making them lauch more <br />unified. <br />As you can also see by the photos 1 went to significrnt effort to <br />make the structures pleasing in appearance. I felt rough sawn <br />cedar fit well with the northwoods look of pine trees. What you <br />may not see from the photos, is how the garage doors for the second <br />building were constructed so as to look, not like doors, but rather an <br />uninterupted wall. <br />I <br />I use these garages for my hobby which is antique auto restoration <br />and collecting. I am proud of the fact that nothing is ever left <br />outside, nor are any vehicles left outside. Frankly the area is <br />neater than many people'a driveways. <br />Additionally, this has never been, nor will it ever be used as a <br />coonercial venture, 'xlie vehicles I mstware bought to keep, not for <br />resale; As to future owners of this property using it cossaercially <br />that is unlikely, as I am buying the property from my parents when­ <br />ever they are ready to sell. It has been theirs since 1952 and will <br />be in our family as far and long into the future as I can see. <br />Lastly, that 330 square feet in the addition siay seem unnecessary <br />but helps me tremendously in parts storage area. Walter Benson <br />has inspected the structure and can probably answer any questions <br />about its interior appearance. All interior walls are panelled <br />floors are painted and ceilings are finished. <br />I appreciate your attention to this probl» and trust you will <br />give me any consideration you can.
