1200 Wildhurst Trail <br />Application for Variance for Patio Expansion <br /> <br />Much of the narrative for this project is contained within the Practical Difficulties section of <br />the application. But again, this project is a simple patio expansion extending the patio <br />towards the lake, enhancing our enjoyment and use of the patio. <br />The project was completed in 2022 without the required city permit. Our application <br />requests an after-the-fact corrective permit and side setback variance to accommodate for <br />a recognized practical difficulty. <br />In 2024, after the patio expansion was completed, we discovered a small (3 sq ft) <br />encroachment into our neighbor’s property. Our plans are to modify the patio expansion to <br />remove the encroachment and to comply with city ordinances. This is why the application <br />contains site designs showing 1) the pre-existing patio, 2) the current expanded patio, and <br />3) the proposed modified expanded patio. A variance is requested to allow a small area of <br />the expanded patio to remain in the setback. Although this area of the expanded patio is <br />near the property boundary, the area is clearly in our natural living space and does not <br />interfere with the neighboring property. <br />Our application also contains some history of the lot and possible explanations as to why <br />the location of the property line between 1200 Wildhurst Trail and 1186 Wildhurst Trail <br />properties recently surprised both property owners. Other documents, diagrams, and <br />maps will be included in our application. If additional documentation or site visits are <br />needed, I would be happy to help coordinate. <br />Thank you for considering our variance application. Please feel free to reach out with any <br />questions. <br /> <br /> <br />131
