We would like to submit some <br /> comments in regard to the pro�osed req�iest via this letter. We ar�doing this just in case <br /> we bave to miss the ne�ct meeting. We are also doin�it in the hopa that the city's <br /> eiigineers can addxess the drainage issues &automobile turnaround issuss that this <br /> properi;y suffers from. <br /> IVIy v�tife a.nd I live next doar io the subject property. �Ne h�ve iivcd at 2641 <br /> Casco Point Road since June of 1991. We have seen a lot of changes�ta our <br /> neighborhoad in that period of time and we lilco the xebuilding that has been occurring. <br />� The n�w owner of this property,Paul Thomas Yiames,has requested variances to .. <br /> allow t1�em to tcar down 1he current house and build a new one. The new owner is a <br /> builder who has previously built on lakeshore in our fair city. So the new�wner was <br /> fully aware of the city's �rdinances when he purehased the property. <br /> There is really only one variancE that the caty caa rea11�take issue with iu the <br /> nn�ice that was sen�to me,that being the h,udcaver requast for the 75' to 2S0' zone. <br /> There is a current house on the property Ehat the new owtaer wants to tesr dowa and <br /> r.eplace: The current house is already we11 in excess nf the 25%hardcover limitatiun for � <br /> this zone. This hardcover was already approved by thc city when the house was <br /> originally built in 19�9. In fact there is less hatdcover today then originally approved by <br /> the city. A previo'us owner removed a back deck sys�tem last summer,reducing a couple <br /> huf�dred feet af hardcover in�lus zonc. <br /> All that said,we want the buildel to be able to build as large a house as he vvants <br /> too, assuming: . <br /> 1, that no set baek or height vaziances are required, <br /> 2. that no part of the prop�rty is built wifhin the zero ta 75' zone, and <br /> 3. that total haz'dcaver is no greater than vvhat the property currently uses within <br /> the 75' to 250' zone, <br />
