I have put down some information regarding the easement road we want to come from <br />Variolite St onto our property for the garage to be built in the rear of the property. <br />We would like to construct a garage on our property located at 7619 -157th AVe. NW. in Ramsey. My name is Jenny <br />Penfield and I've lived in this house since it was built in 1985.The home is currently occupied by myself and Bryan <br />Ebner. We have a 2.3 acre lot and the house sits on the front of the lot facing 157th Avenue. <br />We currently separate garage need to build a se arate a to use for storage of our riding mowers, motorcycles, seasonal equipment <br />g <br />n <br />and for use as a work space for our hobbies. We also need to store items currently in the yard and two car attached <br />garage. <br />Because of the septic system and drain field we cannot put a new garage on the east side of the house where there <br />currently is room. We replaced the septic years ago and the pipes run over on that side of the house and we cannot be <br />driving over the pipes or the drainfield. We also don't want to be <br />storing any vehicles or items outside a garage that is that close to the road and making it an eyesore for people passing <br />by in vehicles or on foot. <br />We would like to put the garage in the back of the property. The only way to access this garage would be a driveway <br />directly off of Variolite Street approximately half way between 157th Avenue and Traprock Street on the east side. This <br />driveway would be made of Class 5 roadmix and maintained by us. The driveway would be used to access the garage in <br />the back of the property, away from the street. We would use the garage for storage of seasonal items like lawn furniture, <br />tools, motorcycles, riding mowers and snowblowers or any other yard equipment in a secure building. We both have <br />hobbies that require more room than our attached two car garage currently provides. <br />Bryan is a mechanic and likes working on our vehicles, and could use a larger garage away from the house for repairs <br />and maintenance. He also owns a classic car that needs enclosed storage space and he could use a separate garage for <br />working on his other vehicles. We also do building projects, refinishing of woodwork and furniture, and weekend yard <br />projects that require a work space bigger than the garage or driveway we currently use. We also need a storage <br />environment that can be locked protecting our stored items and projects while being finished. <br />The garage we plan to build will be in accordance with city code, it will match the house in color and trim, and it will be <br />maintained by us. We plan to landscape around the new garage to make it more aesthetically pleasing as well. We plan to <br />use this garage for personal use, and believe the amount of trips in and out of Variolite St. to and from our garage would <br />be less than out daily trips in and out of our current driveway facing 157th AVe. We plan to use the garage for personal <br />use, not a business, so traffic in and out and onto Variolite would be limited. We expect to turn off Variolite into the <br />easement <br />road a couple times per week during the evening hours, and once or twice a day each day on weekends. <br />Thank you for your consideration on this matter. Any questions you can call either of us: <br />1 <br />
