RE: Building Permit
I, Tommy Singleton and"my sister, Donna Wilridge are seeking to
obtain a building permit for the construction of an attached
addition to my mother's single dwelling home, which is also our
family's homestead. Since the death of our father, it has been our
goal to expand the family's homestead to provide adequate living
quarters for my wife and I to live with my mother in her golden
years. This will enable us to respond to all my mother's needs in
a timely manner.
The construction of this addition will allow the attainment of that
goal before the affectation of failing health besets my mother.
This will enhance our capacity to be less dependent on State or
Federal resources in order to care for her properly. Therefore, in
agreement with my mother and my sister, my wife and I will reside
in the proposed attached addition as our permanent residence.
The blueprints that are in your possession illustrate the
boundaries covered by the site plan which will not require any
changes concerning existing drainage ways or natural features of
the landscape. The plans display the proposed driveway and a
carport along the fence line. However, I was informed that the
proposed carport will encroach on the city's easement. Therefore,
this will be revised and no carport will be built.
Since the addition will be used strictly for family dwelling, it
will be compatible with, and not injurious to, the use and
enjoyment of other properties surrounding it. It will neither
diminish nor impair property values within the immediate vicinity.
The adequate utilities will be provided as one address. There will
be only one meter for each utility as that is our main goal in
living there --to assist my mother financially. There is a
kitchenette in the blueprints as part of the addition because we
want to help my mother, not hinder her independence. However,
other resources will be shared, ie. the yard, the laundry area,
etc. We will also provide extra space for visiting relatives and
friends.
The existing drainage will be supported as indicated by he drawings
in the blueprints. This will not. impede the general public and
adjacent properties. Safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic will
not be altered in any way. I
