R. 2 Hudson WT 54n6 Date Filed 2/25/85 _ Signed lant (s) or Agent We are requesting a garage addition to our home for reasons as follows: i 1 . To enable us to provide for lawn equipment and tool storage. We were turned down by the Board of Adjustment to locate a fenced in area and Garden Shed within the 100' set back from the River bluff line. We can't locate such a facility in our yard beyond the 100' set back because of restrictions in the neiborhood res- trictive covenants. 2. Our present garage is to small to accomodate the needed storage. 3. Our home does not have a formal dining room and the only practical place to locate a formal dining room with- out requesting additional variances is in part of the space now utilized as our existing, garage. 4. The laundry room in our home is located in the base- ment. Because of health reason's on the part of some of the family members we need to locate the laundry room on the main floor of our home. The only practical place to relocate the laundry room is in part of the space taken by the existing garage. We are also requesting the addition of a screened in sun room and deck extension to allow us to reroute walk in traffic from the yard and river to enter into the new proposed laundry room. Currently such traffic enters through a patio door into the living room. Sand and soil from the yard and beach are continually tracked into the living room area. It is our intention to close off the existing patio door into the living room. The sun room is being requested to allow us to have a small exterior area that will keep q mes uitoes and other insects out of our home. We feel that the reviousl mentioned circumstances P Y creates a hardship given our unique situation of owning a home built prior to the existing regulations which needs to be upgraded to maintain the needs of our family.y. i
