water can drain - we would bring the hard cover to just about <br />what the original variance was approved at - we would paint and <br />shingle the garage to match the old motif of the house. <br />To address the safety issue really confuses me. The turn around <br />and extra parking is not any different then on our original plan <br />that was approved. We have 23 feet between the old garage and <br />street curve for visibility. <br />If safety is truly an issue, then the original plan should not <br />have been approved. We should not have built this attached <br />garage in the first place. We should have kept the concrete <br />parking and turn around that we originally had. <br />The attached garage was always a very low priority. I attended <br />the very first building committee meeting with our crazy contrac­ <br />tor and when the committee said we could add the garage but not <br />remodel the house, I stated very clearly for my contractor build­ <br />ing staf^ and committee to know that I had a perfectly good <br />garage and was only interested in remodeling the old kitchen, <br />bathroom and adding on 10 feet to the old porch off the kitchen <br />for a family room. Had we realized that these professionals have <br />not had our best interests in mind, we would have looked into <br />things better. <br />Now that we are living in the house on the lake where we don't <br />have a dry basement, we realize how oadly we need storage space <br />and a sound barrier from this very busy street. <br />I am sorry to be such a nuisance, but I have been encouraged by <br />at least 10 of my immediate neighbors of which the city or Mr. <br />Bernhordson has 3 letters appealing to the council to allow me to <br />keep the old garage. <br />With the exception of Hr. Rhode, who will not answer my phone <br />calls and who runs away from me in his filthy yard, I assume he <br />doesn't want to face the issue how he has neglected the house and <br />yard next door - everyone I speak with encourages me to pursue <br />the issue. <br />I must continue to pursue this because it makes no sense to <br />remove a perfectly good structure that will add value to the <br />property and community and replace it with a temporary shed and <br />junk outside because there in no place to store snow plows, lawn <br />mowers and etc.. <br />Again I appeal to your sense of conscious as homeowners to allow <br />us to keep storage space. <br />Sincerel <br />lAlO <br />Fis Palm
