TO: Board of Directors <br /> • FROM: Mel& Jeanette Beaudry <br /> RE: Variance Request for Lot 19, Block 1 Greenhead 3'd Addition <br /> Thank you for considering the variance request for 35' set back at the above mentioned <br /> property. <br /> Due to the lay of this property, we feel very strongly that the variance that we are asking <br /> for(15')would not be a detriment to the area, but rather a plus. For the following <br /> reasons: <br /> 1. The land is high and buildable at the street, but drops off fast as you go back causing <br /> an undue hardship for building the home 70' off the street. <br /> 2. Because of the set back requirement a standard septic system might not be feasible, <br /> causing thousands of dollars in extra cost. <br /> 3. Because of the way the street is located, the home to the south would not line up with <br /> our home if the set back requirement stays as is. <br /> 4. The home would be in much lower land, not allowing us to take full advantage of a <br /> walk out basement. <br /> 5. If the 35' set back is allowed, we would still be approximately 50' back from the <br /> street, keeping the home plenty far off the street. <br /> 6. By passing this variance you would not be adversely affecting the area because 2 of <br /> the 3 homes on the end of this street are also less than the 50' set back required. The <br /> development is built out, so you would not have to be concerned about setting a <br /> precedence in the development with future homes being built. <br /> I have included a letter signed by the neighbors immediately effected by this request <br /> stating that they are in favor of the variance. <br /> In closing we realize that the evidence of a hardship is not real strong, but by allowing the <br /> variance you are maintaining the continuity of the neighborhood. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> • Mel Beaudry <br />
