Subject: Variance Application —Additions to Existing L. L. Laserna Residence
Dear Sir or Madam:
PAGE 01 /LAI
I would like to request a variance. The now addition at the back of the existing
residence which is W-8" away from property line will not be contrary and/or affect
to the public interest and safety. No existing utilities easement located at the
back of property line.
The new addition is 26'-0'-' away from the road, easily accessible from existing
driveway, no obstructions from the road, 27 feet way from my neighbor's free
standing two cars garage and tie-in to existing sanitary sewer is located at the
back of the house. This is the only viable location and option to construct the now
addition due to less construction costs and strengthen the existing foundation
and structures at the back of the house with wind storm clips/tie straps installed
to all trusses and rafters.
Due to physical location and condition of existing house and the now addition in
corner between Ada Avenue and Mayhaw Drive, the spirit of the ordinance is still,
be there and be observed because it will not affect and endanger the welfare,
health and safety of the public.
I appreciate very much your approval and consideration. Please contact me if
you need further information.
Respectfully,
La ence L. taserna, E.
