To accommodate this long driveway, we are requesting a variance for 30% hardcover, which equates to a <br />substantial 9% reduction from the existing hardcover. If this site had a normal driveway configuration our <br />proposed hardcover would be lower than 25% and not require a variance. This would assume to the <br />property started just beyond the long driveway. <br />Worth noting, the adjacent property at 3630 Casco Ave utilizes approximately 121’ of the subject’s <br />driveway length to access their property. <br />The long and narrow driveway creates a practical difficulty to meet the 25% hardcover allowance. Our <br />plan significantly reduces the existing hardcover but still needs some hardcover accommodation. There is <br />clearly a practical difficulty for granting a hardcover variance for 30%. <br />Summary: <br />In summary, we firmly believe that our variance requests are both necessary and reasonable, given the <br />practical impediments posed by a unique lot configuration, a point-like lakeshore setting, and a <br />substantial utility easement. We respectfully request that the city weigh these compelling factors in favor <br />of our proposal and grant the required variances. <br />We express our gratitude for your valuable time and consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brian Benson <br />Realtor <br />Compass <br />Representative of NIH Homes
