January 9,1996 // <br />: i9 J <br />•1 <br />f4m <br />• ri,^- <br />Subject:Hardship Statement to repair sections of Guest House <br />recently damaged by fire at 2605 Kelly Avenue <br />We were granted a variance and conditional use permit (CUP) about I 1/2 years ago for <br />updating our guest house and subsequently spent tens of thousands of dollars on the <br />structure and over one hundred thousand dollars on landscaping the adjoining structure <br />with shrubs, trees, boulder walls, a pond with three waterfalls and a bridge. To now be <br />required to re-locate the structure approximately six feet further west to conform to the 10 <br />foot side setback code would be in contrast to your recent approval and cost us well over <br />two hundred fifty thousand dollars. <br />In addition, the guest house has been in the same location for over thirty-five years, and <br />the east and portions of the south side slope significantly. Mature trees also cover the <br />property whereby total guest house relocation would certainly cause damage to. <br />9 • <br />0 <br />We would like to repair it as it was prior to the fire with no modifications anticipated. <br />The majority of the structure is fine, although smoke damage will require all new interior <br />siding (exterior is fine on about 80% of the building), and the foundation appears to be in <br />finq shape on the portion most heavily affected by the fire. <br />William & Laura Stoddard
