Allen and Ginger Millner <br />16841 Wolverine Court <br />Request for Variance <br />(Auxiliary building forward house) <br />Description: <br />We would like permission to add a detached garage to our property in a <br />location that will be somewhat forward our house. <br />Contributing factors in directing our request: <br />1. Property line is at about a 65 degree angle to the house creating a <br />pinch point at the southeast corner of the existing garage. <br />2. 2 foot slope away from existing garage to the south <br />3. Building an attached garage near the size we would like, and still <br />allowing for good access to the rear of the yard (for septic <br />pumping, etc.) has proven difficult to design and would not result <br />in a cohesive main structure, considering the odd angles that <br />would be necessary. We have worked through many iterations of <br />different plans for nearly three years and feel this is the best plan <br />given the limitations. <br />4. In order to access two garage doors, the structure has to come <br />somewhat forward from the house. The 2' slope to the south <br />makes coming off of the existing driveway the best choice. <br />5. The garage design will mimic our house, which will include one <br />small gable end coming out over one of the garage doors along <br />with hip sides for the roofline. Having hip ends will also diminish <br />the visual impact of the roofline from the south neighbors <br />perspective. <br />6. We have discussed our desire to build this garage plan, in the <br />location indicated, with our neighbors, particularly the one on the <br />south side of our property, and have found no objections. <br />7. We are fortunate enough to have very large White Cedar trees in <br />the front of our property, which will obscure most of the garage <br />from the street. <br />8. Our desire is to get the foundation in yet this year. <br />Contact information: <br />Ginger 763-464-4600 <br />Allen 763-286-3061 <br />
