Home My WebLink AboutVARIANCE 918 Christmas Tree Ln Garage 2012-03-20March 20, 2012 Estes Valley Board of Adjustment: We respectfully request a variance of the setback requirements affecting our property at 918 Christmas Tree Lane in Estes Park. Our desire is to enhance the value of our property by building a detached garage in a style to complement our home. While we have a 2-car attached garage we would like to add detached storage space for the protection of our RV, snow plow, boat, trailer, wood splitter, and other items. The proposed length of the garage is essential in order to meet our needs of enclosing these items. Special circumstances exist in that our Christmas Tree Mountain location consists of 18 very steep acres and severely limits our placement of this garage. The proposed site is directly behind the only vehicle turn -around we have at the house. Were we to move the new garage closer to the house, we would lose that turn -around space for cars, service and emergency vehicles. We have also consulted with a builder and excavator and all agree that the proposed site is the only feasible one based on accessibility, drainage, proximity to house, and cost effectiveness. There are no homes other than ours visible from the proposed building site — neither the garage itself nor planned subdued lighting would impact the nearest neighbor. We have made many improvements to our property and believe this garage will be an additional one because we will be able to enclose numerous implements and recreational items. We intend to design this structure as aesthetically pleasing as possible because it will be visible from our own kitchen window. Despite being located on unique acreage the home itself was also built at the most feasible location which is the very corner of the property. We are pleased that there is enough space for this beneficial addition and are very hopeful the variance will be approved considering the rural nature of our location. Thank you for your time and consideration. We would be pleased to provide further information if necessary. Respectfully, William G. and Deborah K.
