Extremely small lot and lot width of 50 1 requires the garage <br />door to face the road causing the need for 30 1 setback. <br />2. Desire to add the ability to park two cars indoors. <br />3. If we maintained a 30 1 setback and a 20i depth on the garage, we <br />would require a setback variance from the house. <br />4. A 20" hardwood tree is be'ing prqtected and preserved by not <br />sliding the garage back any further. Approximately 80% of the <br />"root zone airr.1.tion" is being maintained with this proposal. <br />Hardcover Varience, 75' to 250 1 Zone <br />The hardship and description of unusual property conditions are due to <br />the f o 11 owing: <br />1.

Even though the existing house and <br />accessory buildings are very modest 1n size and no plastic <br />sheeting or fabric has been used or proposed, the i'Hardcover" is <br />currently 47%. This propos~1 will reduce that ration to 39.1% <br />by removing and incorporat"ing the existing "ro;.:k '' p~rking <br />surface and sidewalk.
