,I :://4 <br /> *11 <br /> W <br /> P-1‘ <br /> .. <br /> This is an extreme height that would otherwise be an eyesore, but fortunately,this side of the garage is <br /> to the rear of the property and away from the water and what can be seen from the shoreline. Thus, it <br /> is hidden from view. If the structure had to be moved to be farther away from the main dwelling by an <br /> extra 3.5 feet,that would cause the wall on the back of this garage to be higher. Because of the vertical <br /> drop in the contour on the garage's northeast corner, plus the requirement to keep the front of the <br /> garage (south) side at an appropriate elevation relative to the main dwelling entry door,the only way to <br /> make that work would be to materially increase the overall height of the garage on the back(north) <br /> side. In short, adding any additional height to this garage would be untenable and thus supports why <br /> the specific building site is unique and requires special consideration. Additionally,the extra height that <br /> would have to be added to the garage creates challenges in the block retaining walls used as part of the <br /> foundation for the structure. The front(south)side of the garage already has eight rows of block in the <br /> wall. To slide the whole foundation further from the main dwelling and thus dig it deeper into the hill <br /> and increase the overall height of the garage would cause a required increase in the height of the block <br /> walls,thus creating more structural complications. Here is a picture of the inside block walls of the <br /> structure. <br />
