variance <br />REC�I�D <br />MAY 2 1 2019. <br />18378 Boston street nw <br />Variance request letter <br />This letter of intent is in support of my request for a variance to the maximum lot <br />hard cover <br />ordinance of 25% as stated in the email from Amanda Bednar the environmental <br />coordinator <br />for Elk River. The proposed home/garage addition put the hard cover at 41 % <br />according <br />to city calculations. <br />Fortunately past history with winter thaw and hard rains have not produced <br />standing water <br />nor any water that has breached the road toward the lake. In essence the lot <br />performs quit <br />well, absorbing very hard rains. <br />The addition will be placed in back of the existing home and will look "in place" <br />with the other <br />homes in the area. Built into the function on the addition is to allow water to flow <br />to the back <br />of the lot away from the lake and absorb on its own. The home will still be a <br />single family <br />structure intended for my wife and I. <br />The house presently has a unusable garage and has only one very small <br />bathroom on the <br />second floor. It is our intent to retire in this home with one level living to include <br />bedroom, bath and laundry on the first floor to avoid the steps as we age. <br />Home owner. <br />Brian Copeland <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
