Practical Difficulty Response #8 <br />"The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or <br />immediate adjoining property" <br />The challenge of building a structure on this plot of land with the contour gradients described in #2 <br />above, is finding a structural design that will fit the existing space. The structure had to be designed in a <br />non-traditional manner to make it fit the existing , unique space . The workable design involved two <br />separate sections with access from two different sides of the garage (an upper section and lower <br />section}. The lower section is side-loading and will allow for small recreational vehicles, mowers, and <br />other similar items to be stored . The upper sections will allow for the garage to both be functional and <br />look normal from the front of the property (south or water side}. The key is that the garage height had <br />to be increased so that it would fit appropriately within the roof line of the main dwelling. If the upper <br />section was not added, the garage roof would have sit well below the roofline of the main dwelling, and <br />would not fit aesthetically or functionally on the property (the roof would have been on the same <br />elevation as the main dwelling access door). From the following picture, you can see that the opening in <br />the upper section of the garage is designed to be on the same elevation as the side access door on the <br />main dwelling.
