This new location was established at <br />the time of excavation and was chosen by the excavator so as to preserve <br />several mature trees which are located directly in the path of the original <br />driveway location. These trees are identified on the survey <br />There are several reasons we are requesting this variance: <br />The trees shown would be preserved. These trees provide natural <br />screening for the house and have been incorporated in our landscape <br />plan. <br />The slight curvature of the proposed driveway is a more attractive <br />sef <br />The back turnaround area west of the garage is slightly larger <br />providing the aHlity to get into and out of the garage more easily <br />The origina] drlvewty location would require several turning <br />maneuvers vdien entering and leaving the garage. <br />The property immediately to the west> nearest to the proposed driveway <br />locatlofi, is owned by Mr. Sidney Rebers. Mr. Rebers has reviewed the <br />iMMWap# plan teiowing the proposed driveway location and has approved <br />plan.
