<br />Re: i.Etiiuii'tG2}i4! Use Permit (CUP) for 735 Ke.r.-r.Per= tMa'j
<br />This written statement describes the intended use of swi property and why the City
<br />the newt constructed house
<br />should thence approve the CUP for a separate garage zrotn ¢ ,� e
<br />and total garage space of 1,200 square feet. The property is a single - family. residency an
<br />a
<br />lot that is 120 feet wide by approximately 290 feet in depth for a total square footage of
<br />, ppro-imat•e!y 3a 400 squ =are Feet. Additionally, the southern border of the property is
<br />adjacent to Gerlais Lake, as indi cated by the survey.
<br />The :owners presently have three vehicles and they, or future owners, may have additional
<br />vehicle in the :`-.:tune_ W-mt t?teexisting garage on the Drgperty, one or more vehicles
<br />would have to he peinatwntly parked at the top of the driveway. Because of the
<br />steepness of the, 'driveway, which drops npproxnvateiy 20 -vertical feet in a distance of
<br />120 feet from • .e read to the garage, messun from K..iler Parkway to the front of the
<br />existing gm-age, it may be possible for vehicles parked an said driveway, instead of
<br />secured on the flat surface of the existing garage, to roll down the driv`'n'ay, thereby
<br />endangering pedestrian and vehicle traffic on Keller Parkway. Additionally, to clear
<br />driveway following snowstorms, vehicles may need to be moved off the driveway, thus
<br />creating congestion on Keller Parkway, a major airy artery. Finally, because of setback
<br />requirements, the !ovation of the new house would make turning around at the top of the
<br />hill difficult if additional cars were paarked at the top. Because of the nature of the
<br />driveway, hacking down is J.¢ yu.o , and potentially dangerous, for many drivers.
<br />tri addition to the aforementioned safety concerns, the existing garage is necessary to
<br />store additional vehicles, watercraft, and lawn equipment which would otherwise be
<br />stored on the driveway, , thus detracting from the aesthetics of the neighborhood. This is
<br />especially true beca+ice many people in the community use Keller Parkway as a
<br />recreational welkinjy path and, es previously noted, it is a main thoroughfare for the City.
<br />Finally, since aCQtiiriiig sattt property, the owners have unproved the dating garage by
<br />building a workbench and storage system to facilitate property maimenance and upkeep.
<br />Additionally, the existing house that is being removed for the new house has a tuck under
<br />;e Therefore, without the, existing garage, the new house would be losing one
