V 25-05 Narrative <br /> <br />The intent for a variance is to install a porch across the front of the existing house that faces Boston Street. <br />The 22x7 porch will extend 7' in front of house. <br /> <br />The issue I'm expecting may be the encroaching on impervious watershed. The porch will occupy the space <br />that the old existing concrete steps and the rock landscape with plastic sheeting underneath that is already <br />imperious to water anyway. The new porch will only extend about 9" beyond what will be taken out (old <br />steps and rock). <br /> <br />Yes, as I see it now. <br /> <br />This front porch will be used in a reasonable manner. <br /> <br />One of the main reasons for a covered front porch is for safety. The uncovered existing smooth front steps <br />are deadly in the winter icing up very easy. I personally landed flat on my back clearing the steps and hitting <br />the sidewalk. I have UPS, FEDEX, Family and friends I'm concerned about also. Plus the house needs a <br />inviting porch overlooking Lake Orono. <br /> <br />This front porch will blend in nicely to our short city block of homes. <br />Page 25 of 29
