We propose to build a modest BiLevel home on this lot per the drawings attached. (48' x 28') This home will be pleasing to the eye and add value to our great community. We do not wish to build something that looks unacceptably narrow and downgrade existing surrounding homes. The width of this home is in accordance with today's contemporary designs and will not portray the "cottage" style or size home.. The actual footprint for the foundation is 26' with a 2' overhang for architectural purposes and to allow minimum bedroom sizes. We plan to keep existing trees and grass areas to be used by the homeowner's family. We have discussed this with several surrounding neighbors and obtained their agreement. Specifically to the West and South of the lot. My father actually lived in or built 3 homes that surround this lot so our intentions are only for the betterment of the area. Please grant us this variance so we can get going before the winter. Thank You, S� cerely, -M".J /.,y,1--C, Steven R.
