i �, � -- ---- -- -- <br /> 2695 Casco Point Road Variance Request <br /> `X/e believe that the property qualifies�or the liardco'V�r variance x�quested. Xt has issues <br /> that cre�te"hart�ship"• The prope o�fo rtwrnaround. '��heref re,mo�i glthe ho�u�.�s�ea <br /> ak�.E bo�titom of t11�dr�'veway to al <br /> toward the sti'ect,fu�rther reducing hardcover, is nat an option. <br /> However,fihe s�te has two main issues that ne�d to b�addr�ssed as a part oft�is <br /> request: <br /> 1. Turnaround—The current turnaround situation is'hazaxdous and neec�s <br /> to be fixed. Cars get stuck and�'a]l off th�driveway far too frequently <br /> during the winter mon�s. Tn addition, cars ar�fo�eced to back up the <br /> dri�eway a�to Casco ereating a�urther hazard in that stopping �oing t�p <br /> that drivevvay is easier said then done without having the potential af <br /> sliding back dowrn the dri�ve. We have s�en �ao many near misses in <br /> our tim�here and are certa.in that someday,someone will be severely <br /> injured if this issue is not tixed. <br /> 2, Site Drainage—Our property is uphill from the subject property(th�ir <br /> ' turna�:ound is adjacent to our�arage with a de�p valleybetiween th�m). <br /> The city should require fill, ar allow 1he builder to ptt�in fill to levei off <br /> their pxoperty that is adjacent to our garage and our parking axe�• <br /> This would eliminate the need for a retaining wall and actuall�rcduce <br /> hazdcover in the 7S' to 250' zone and heip ta create a iurnaround for <br /> cars at the same time. The fill would have to go over our progerty line, <br /> We have no issues wi.th the builder placing fill oa tbat portion of our <br /> praperty(adjacent to our garage a.nd parking atea) if it would help ta <br /> rectify the above tvvo issues. <br /> One other point,tlus builder througl� a�i another company he is asso�iated <br /> with(�lague Homes),w�hen buildizag a new k�ome l�.st year on Casco took down <br /> trees that v�rere within the 0 to 75' zone and trees that were on�he adjoining <br /> property. We vvould like the buildez�to be required to indicate where trees are on <br /> their site survey to insure that there are no issues as this house is being built. �Ve <br /> have txees on our properiy tliat buffer aur properky from this property and do nat <br /> want them touchcd. Tn addition,th�buifdEr has trees in the D to 75' zone tliat he <br /> might be tempted ta take down. <br /> Hope£u]ly we will be able to make the meetin�wben these variances aze <br /> discussed. I3owever,just in case?please read our opinion on this matter into the <br /> record. � <br /> Thanks, <br /> � � � - <br /> $ill M� ler <br /> 2691. Casco Point Road <br /> Wayzata,MN 55391 <br />
