valr :� 'sii'.s <br />_s <br />ADDENDUM TO VARIANCE APPLICATION <br />1840 Fox Street <br />John C. Skoglund <br />DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Owner desires to make additions to <br />ex sting house, consisting of a reconstructed swimming pool <br />and new pool house. <br />House fa^es westerly. South lot line is north line of Fox <br />Street, - public street. Access to house is not directly from <br />Fox Street, but is from private drive or roadway west of the <br />lot which roughly parallels the west line, and enters property <br />at northwest corner, circling northeast, east and south to <br />the circular term around northeast of the house. Main portion <br />of private Load proceeds north to serve property owner to <br />north. It is a wide, asphalt drive. This private drive also <br />proceeds west from in front of house to the north and goes <br />west to Brown Road. East -west Pnrtinn of privaLC drive is <br />not paved. <br />Main portion of house if 60 feet from west lot line, and even <br />after new room addition on the south side will be about 120 <br />feet from north line of Fox Street on the south. <br />Open terrace and deck area now existing are approximately 30 <br />feet from west line and 95 feet from north line of Fox Street. <br />Proposed new pool and pool house are to be approximately 57 <br />feet from west line, and approximately 83 feet from north line <br />of Fox Street. <br />Therefore, the requested pool and pool house would be <br />i) approximately 3 feet nearer the west line than the <br />main house, but would still be substantially easterly <br />the most westerly edge of the existing terrace and <br />deck; and <br />ii) approximately 37 feet nearer the north line of Fox <br />Street than the main house after the addition. <br />HARDSHIP: Access to house is from the west. House was <br />ori— g nally designed with west line as the "front." Access <br />to the lot is from northwest of the house. Basic house and <br />terraced decks were all located with City approval of alignment, <br />set hacks, etc, in 1983. Pool is being reconstructed in <br />approximately the same location as originally approved by the <br />City. Pool house is the only new accessory building. It must <br />be located near the pool. Only other location are west and <br />north of the pool. Both locations would cut off the view and <br />seriously mar the "front" of the home. Only possible location <br />is south east of the pool. <br />
