w ta [; <br /> 2695 Casco 1'aint Raad Variance Request <br /> � We believe that the property qualifies �or the hardco�►�r variance xequested. Zt has issues ; <br /> that create"hardship"• 'I'he Ptoperty's approach is downhill,there is very little flat�u'ea , <br /> at thE 6ottorn of'the driveway to allow far turnaraund. ']�herefore, muving the house <br /> toward the stxect,fu�her reducing hardcover, is not an option. r <br /> � <br /> However,the s3te has two main issues that ne�d to b�addx�ssed as a part oftlus � <br /> request: � <br /> 1. � Turnaround—The current turnaro�nd situa�ion is 1�azart�ous and needs <br /> to be fixed. Cars get stuck and fall off ihe dri'veway fax too f�'equently <br /> d.uring the wintier mont�s. Tn addifion, cars ar�farced to back up the � <br /> driveway o�to Casco ereatin�a further hazard in that stopping going�P <br /> fliat drivevvay is easier s�id then done without having the pol:ential Qf , <br /> sliding back dov�rn the dri�ve. We have scen lao many near misse�in � <br /> our tim�here and are certain that sameday, someone wi.l1 be severely <br /> injured if this issue is not�'ixed, <br /> i+�' <br /> 2. Site Drainage—Our property is uphitl from the subject property(their � ' <br /> ' turna�ound is adjacent to our garage with a deep valley be�ween thEm). <br /> The city should require fi11,or allow 1he bui lder to p�t i.n filI to level off � , <br /> their groperty that is adjacent to our garage and oux parking axe�.. <br /> This would eliminate the need for a reta.ining wall and actuall�reduce � <br /> hardcover in.the 75' to 250' zone and help ta create a tumaround for <br /> L. <br /> cars at the same time. The fill would have to go o'ver our property line. <br /> - W�have no issues with the builder placing�11 on tbat portion Qf our � : <br /> property(adjacent to our garage and parkin.g azea) if it would help to � <br /> rectify the above tvvo issues. � f <br /> r_, <br /> l <br /> One other point,this builder lhrough an another company he is associa.ted <br /> wifih('Vo�ue Homes), when building a new home last year on Caseo took down � � <br /> trees that were wiYhin the 0 to 7S' �one and ixees that were on the adjoining � �._, <br /> property. We would like the buildar to be requir�d to ind.icate where trees are on <br /> iheir site survey to insure that there are no issues as this house is being built. We k' ' <br /> have txees on aur property tllat buffer�ur properky from this property and do no1: (,.; <br /> want them touchcd. In addition,the buildEr has trees in th�0 to 75' zone tliat ha <br /> might be tempted to take down. ' ( � <br /> �_. <br /> Hopefiilly we will be able to make the meetin�whez�these variances are <br /> discussed. I3owever,just in case,please read oux apinion on this matter into �he � <br /> record.
