Diann Goencn. <br />Charles Kellcv, <br />Barbara Peterson, <br />Richard Flint <br />Re: Application #2395, Proposed new garage and driveway <br />b <br />Dear Mayor and members of the City Council, <br />As you review the accumulated five months of infonnation regarding our application <br />for replacing our garage and generally improving access to our home, we would like <br />you to consider the latest proposal a reasonable solution tor eliminating the two major <br />access problems of our properly from the street to our home; distance and exterior <br />stains. <br />It addresses all of the concerns which wc have encountered in the four years we've <br />lived here —from basic day-iO'day hardship issues .such as carrying things like groceries, <br />children, profe.ssional carpet cleaning access, deliveries, etc. to sWety Issues such as <br />handicapped relatives visiting, limitations of access by professional .services (i.e.: <br />furnace duct cleaning), and currc^iriy having to back out directly onto the street from <br />our garage (which the city inspector considers a hazard). <br />Throughout this proce.ss we have been told, "...well, you were aware of these issues <br />when you purchased it...". Which is somewhat true, we didn't fore.see some things, but <br />we expected to be able to change and improve it, too. We !o% e our place, the ncigliboriiood, <br />and the community. That's why we would really like this to be approved. <br />There seems to be a lot of differing opinions on this. We hope that you slop by in <br />person to appreciate the unique situations of this application and ti\jst that vou arrive <br />at the best decision for all involved Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brent A. Bentrott <br />TOThL P.02
