. � � � � i , Narrative Stat�ent for the Request for Variance For Edward J. Medene I 2507 Ihicker I I 1. I wish to tuild a 20' X 20' garage on the swtheast corner of the above i property. I wish to place the building on the side lot line as well as the back line or fence line as it mw e�dsts. Specifically, I �n seeking a variance fzrom the 5' side line setback as well as a variance from the 20' back lot line re- I quir�ent if the side line setback is �t maintained. 2. My lot is the second smallest lot in trry block. 'Ihere presently exists an old garage, 12' X 20" with a decided le� to the north and in inminent d�ger of falling. All of the other garages in the block violate both requira�nts that I �n seeking a variance for. All are on the alley or back lot line. Ttao of � the five are built conQletely across their respective lots, ie. , they are built on both side lot lines. 'itao have a set back of one foot fx�om the side line and one has a aetback of 3' . 'Ihe entire block is zrnied identically. � 3. 1he public welfare can only be a��ced by the raroval of my falling build- ing and the erection of a modern, safe building. Zhe fact that all garages in my _ inmediate neighberhood already violate the setback requirmients, the fact that no one has bec�► inj�sed by that fact, lead me to believe that on one will be injured or in acry way detrimmtally affected by my request. 4. If I mm� mt allowed this request, I will be forced to use the present structtia�e imtil it falls or biuns. We will be forced to contirnie parking on the street where we have already had one car totalled in azi accidmt that we were not a par.t � of as well as tc.v breakins into o� cars with the resultant loss of property, all � within the last 18 months, or the time we have lived on the property. All other � nei�hbors enjoy offstreet parking in their garages. 5. The garage will not exceed the si.ze requested of 20' X 20' (being the same si.ze ar smaller that the other in the neighborhood) . 7he height of the garage will �I not ecceed the height of the lughest in the neig�bonc�od. The garage itself will be fini.shed with siding similar to my house as well as roof pitch so as to more accisately blend into my crnmaiity.
