The variance is necessary because the lot and adjoining lota are all very small, 25 feet in width, and Federal Ave. hae not bee¢ fully developed so as to provide any on-street parking. Also, the sharp drop of the rear-moet portion of the lot makea the slope to the alley preaently unusable. The cunent garage, which has been in existence for over SO years, was originally conetructed based on setbacks which appear to have bee¢ different than current sethack requirements. To make the garage fully useable requirea an increase in depth with a continuatio¢ of the same aide yard setbacks that presently exiet. c. The variance will only grant the aubject property the eame general rights enjoyed by other properties in the eame aren and zone. Buildings on the properties adjacent to the applicant'e lot do not meet current zoning aetbacka, and a house two lots northeast of the subject property appeara to be conatructed Within 1 foot of ite aide lot line and on the alley line. All of the buildings near subject property appear to be over 60 yeara old, some of xhich have been remodeled or reconstructed. d. The variance is the minimum necessary to allow the aubject property the general rights deecribed Sn Subsection C of this paragraph. The nature of the lota and existing buildings on thie block are all very old atructures which were built on very narrow lots under different zoning requirements from thoae currently in existence. The variance will enhance tiie surrounding properties as explained above. e.

The exieting garage was constructed in ite present eize and location over 50 years ago. Increased vehicle sizea now make it difficult to use the garage without more depth to the garage. S1nce there is no o¢-atreet parking in this area of Federal Avenue and parking on the parking strip and sidexalk is unsightly and may be illegal, the need for off-atreet parking is acute. The variance should eolve that problem for tlie applicant. Charles A. Pancerzewaki Gayle E. Pancer.zewski Date: 1352d -Z- EXHt61i -3 P.�—OF � t
