Hardcover Variance Request and hardship considerations <br /> We believe that the properiy has some unusual property conditions that are unique to <br /> our lot should be considered in relation to our request for variance. . <br /> Existing Conditions/Proposed <br /> Currently the property is an existing non conforming property. Calculations by <br /> Gronberg Engineering indicate we currently have 26.75%hardcover in the 75'- <br /> 250'zone. Submitted drawings and plans that we have developed increase the <br /> hardcover 1.95% or 28.7°/a: <br /> In the 250'-500' zone we are currently 27.77% or 2.23% under the allowable <br /> hardcover � <br /> Submitted drawings and plans that we have developed show 29.36%haxdcover which <br /> is still under the allowable 30%. <br /> Three parts of our proposed remodeling project affect our variance request. <br /> A. The reax 75%portion of the garage/laundry addition. <br /> B. The front entrance terrace <br /> C. Street water runoff& drainage causing ponding and flooding of garage <br /> Addition <br /> We have designed the garage on the south side of our existing garage believing that <br /> logically, aesthetically and logistically it is where it belongs. Our hardship <br /> explanation explains our needs for another stall for family reasons.. Additionally, it is � <br /> common in our surrounding neighborhoods that homes have three stall garages. We • <br /> feel that it is a reasonable request and we are within setback requirements. <br /> We gave consideration to installing a garage in the 250-500 foot zone towards the <br /> street. Under current hardcover limits we would be able to build that garage without a <br /> variance and by submitting for a permit. Depending on access to the garage, it could <br /> be built as close to 10' from the front street. We believe that viable option could have <br /> a negative affect on the neighborhood and be an inadequate solution in regards to our <br /> neighbors. Additionally, it would prove to have a substantial impact on the natural <br /> environment by requiring the removal of some large mature tress in that section of <br /> land. <br /> Considering those facts, we believe we have designed the best option of our home <br /> and the neighborhood. <br /> ��CE�\IEfl� <br /> MAR 9 2009 <br /> � ���'v` OF QROf�IC� <br />
