Narrative for Variance Request <br />1. By eliminating the front entrance driveway the hardship would be placed on our elderly <br />friends, relatives who would have a lengthy walk to the front entrance. Particularly in <br />adverse weather conditions. <br />2. The design of the house is using the two lots that currently each have a driveway. This house <br />is an improvement to both lots and the development. By designing the garages to be offset to <br />the side of the home, we have increased the developments curb appeal. <br />3. It is my understanding of the ordinance that a driveway to the garage and a driveway to the <br />entrance of the home are allowed. Our intension is to accommodate city ordinances, at the <br />same time improve the curb appeal and safety for guests. These two driveways will tie <br />together to accomplish and satisfy these goals. <br />4. In viewing with the other homes in the development this proposed driveway is similar to <br />those located 18660 Simonet Dr. and 18593 Simonet Dr. <br />5. The variance that we are requesting will not be injurious to or adversely affect the health <br />safety or welfare of the city or neighborhood and will be in keeping with the spirit and intent <br />of the ordinance. This proposed driveway is intended to address all concerns listed above. <br />The existing properties as they stand are each allowed 40' driveways. Our proposed plan will be <br />a total of 40'. Which is less than the two combined existing driveways. In reviewing this plan <br />with my neighbors who like I have been residing on this street for many years are in agreement <br />with this proposed plan. Our intent is to improve the development for all involved. Our <br />proposed driveway would also eliminate excessive parking on the street. <br />Thank you for your consideration on this matter. Our intentions are to provide a safe and <br />welcoming environment for family, guests and neighbors. <br />Respectfully, <br />Jake & Lori Nelson <br />
