-�: tra bedroo' i, -'hat they think it would be nice for resale <br />purposes and that Mrs. Schall needs a place to get away. None of <br />these is a hardship and their attempt to piggy -back this recruest <br />for a third bedroom onto what appears to be a lgg._:imate request <br />for a variance with respect to the garage is not in keeping with <br />the law regarding variances. If that were the case, people could <br />build whatever and wherever they wanted provided part of the new <br />structu - was supported by a hardship. <br />It is my undor_ste-,ing that in the past the City has aliowed <br />people to buj d serond stories over structures which are not <br />within the setback requirements, but it is my undeLs' nding that <br />City staff _s now having second thoughts %Pith respe to that <br />policy because, in effect, whatthey were doing is -_flowing an <br />expansion of a non-conforminger %hich is not per_Atted under <br />vour ordina*^ ,s absent another variance. This situation is also <br />different ii that v.-u are not being presented wit, an existing <br />structure, b-i:, ratt.er you are being presented with a request to <br />create a new structure and putting reasonable conQtraints upon <br />this new structure would not deviate from your past practices and <br />would be in keeping with the scheme of your ordinances. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Rudd support the variance request with re _ect to <br />the construction of a garage, but ask that you deny the request <br />with respect to the construction of the bedroom above the -arage <br />because no hardship exist, with respect to this second floor room <br />-,d the impact upon the Rudd property wcald bs: detrinental. <br />ry truly yours, <br />MACKINN , STANDKE & GREENE, LTD. <br />James 'MacK i nron <br />JDM/VrB <br />
