Tract
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the
project require a Variance.
WE propose to add a small servant's.quarter to our building in the only location
possible due to site restrictions and consequently ask for a variance for the
addition•from the 50 ft. rear yard setback. Also we ask to be allowed to construct
/a Ls
a 'swimming pool per plans submitted. COPVEAL-- St1/ LL P?T1O ?S42E4. To 6.4.6.12.61E.12

Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the
same vicinity and zone.
Our lot is very narrow. Front and rear setbackrPniiiramcnto have it very difficult
to add the maid's quarter which we need. To detach the structure from the building
would be functionally impossible. What we ask for is.that the, roar rrrl
requirement be averaged in such a way as to allow us this very minor infringement.
Portions of our lot are of a'very steep nature and would make rnnctrnrtinn
which would be allowed by city ordinances very costly and functionally impos-
sible.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to
the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located because..
We believe that granting us the varianre re uired would have nnLdetrimental effect
upon the neighborhood, to public welfare or the value of adjacent properties for
the following reasons:
A. The proposed structure would be architecturally consistant with the existing
building and is carefully concealed b'v'vegitation. ie tall trees from the
west and a high earth bank from the south and is subsequently not visible from
any adjacent property.
B. The open space immediately to the west of our existing garage is not of conseq-
uence to our building as it is being used today and would serve us far better
with its proposed use as room for our maids.
