Because of the configuration of the drive onto <br />our property and the distance to our existing attached garage from County Rd. #19, we <br />currently must back our automobile approximately 130 feet to exit. In just the past year we <br />have experienced three backing accidents. <br />We are also trying to make entry into our home more accessible for handicapped visitors. <br />We are now in the process of remodeling our front entrance to make our home more <br />accessible. In conjunction with this, we want to make it possible to transport handicapped <br />passengers right up to the front entrance. Under existing conditions, hsmdicapped <br />passengers caimot be transported closer than 40 feet. Due to typical congestion on our <br />existing drive, the distance is usually greater. <br />With professional assistance, we have developed nvo alternate plans which would greatly <br />reduce the extensive backing necessary to enter and exit our property and make our home <br />more accessible to handicapped visitors. These plans provide for adding a third automobile <br />storage space to the existing attached garage, moving the garage entrance to the south side, <br />and adding a circular configuration to the existing driveway.
