• May 12, 2024 To: Mayor Walsh &City Council Members RE: Variance Request for Jon &Terri Hofer at 3339 Crystal Bay Road History: We have lived in this house for 28 years. In 1996 we remodeled the house while staying inside the original foundation. Now, almost thirty years later, the house is in need of repairs and updating. We would like to stay living here and would like to update the inside and outside of the house and add a 220 sq.ft. addition. Current Hardship: We are currently living in 1500 finished sq.ft. Our garage is 1.5 stalls in which we cram two undersized cars. One forward one backward, inches from the wall, so we can barely open one drivers door at a time. Items such as lawnmower, bikes, shovels etc. that would normally be stored in a garage, have taken over our lower level inside our house. Storage under the addition would allow us to move those items into a more proper area and allow us to finish this part of our lower level. Since the planning commission meeting, we have reduced the size of the addition. Pulled it further back from the side setback. Eliminated the proposed front deck. Reduced the size of the driveway. Reduced our proposed hardcover. Recent Projects Approved on our Street: 3359 Crystal Bay Road — 39.4 to 43.9% hardcover 3355 Crystal Bay Road — 41.5 to 52.6% hardcover 3349 Crystal Bay Road — ? to 43.7% hardcover 3339 Crystal Bay Road — 37.7 to 42.1% proposed hardcover Neighbors: We have included three signed letters from neighbors who are in favor of our project. The neighbor to our east at 3335 has raised current water drainage problems. This , project would actually help that situation with the construction of a swale. We appreciate your attention and time, and look forward to discussing and answering your questions at the May 13th City Council Meeting. Jon &Terri Hofer 3339 Crystal Bay Road
