We would like to add a 12x16 deck on our home.It would be a simple rectangle with no <br /> steps.We are asking for less than 4 feet of variance (on the 12 ft.side).We feel that a <br /> 12x16 deck is not extraordinarily huge for the size of our home and would not conflict <br /> with the property owners on either side of us.The lot to our right has been for sale for <br /> more than a year and more than likely will be a two story. <br /> Mike and I both love the outdoors,however our house faces the east and it gets <br /> extremely hot in the summer and we are unable to sit outside. The sliding door for a <br /> deck is on the back side and the much cooler side of the house. <br /> It is not possible to build a deck on any other side of the home except where we are <br /> requesting.An 8 ft.wide deck is impractical for us as far as usage. <br /> We were ignorant of home building and were not given clear and consice information <br /> from our builder.After living in the Corcoran area for over 32 years on an acre+lot,we <br /> didn't even know or were informed of setback rules.Our first plan had the deck going <br /> straight out the back,but when we changed the layout to have more windows there and <br /> move the door to the side,deck restrictions never came up. <br /> Approval of the variance would allow us to construct a deck that would be reasonably <br /> consistent with other decks in our neighborhood.It would also be more desirable to live <br /> in for us and for future potential owners. <br /> Thank you for your time. <br /> Mike and Rosie Reger <br /> 19538 Albany St.NW <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> 763-213-2965 Mike <br /> 612-868-4470 Rosie <br />
