City Hall,
Hopkins, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
I want to build an 18 x 22 foot, eingle car garage on
the north eide of lot at alley lenel with doors opening on the
alley standing ten feet from the alley line. Our lot is 50 feet
by 125 feet. It is three feet above alley level and there is a
distance of sixty feet from rear of house to alley line.
According to Mr. Frank Laska�s interpretation of part
of ordinance number 8 pertaining to garages, it s;�ecifys any
�arage opening on to a street, avenue or roacl must be fifteen
feet from property line ad�acent to road, straet or avenue. If
it were the intent of the zoning commiaaion to include allays in
thie ordinance I would like to requbst permission to put my
garage ten feet from alley line instead of fifteen feet for the
f ollowing reasons:
1. This looation �nould give me a diatance of
t�renty eight feet from house to garage ae
comrared with twenty threa feet in accord-
ance with this ordinance. This ie the
part that ia ob�ectionable to me.
2. I �ould have a parking area between garage
and alley of 10 x 22 feet. This would be
ample room to keep my car off of alley �hen
not in gara�e.
3. This placement of ga.rage �ould take up lese
apace of the yard - namely 32 a 22 feet. �
Placing the garage parallel to the alley
would take a0 x 50 feet. Thus I am eaving
3G0 equ�re feet which I am now using for
garden space. I would have raore dirt to re-
move to put tha garage level rvith the alley.
4. This would also save expense of a retaining
-.. wall which would be necessary on my south side
line because the lot south of ine is 3 feet
higher than my lot. Thus a six foot retaining
wall twenty feet long would be neceseary to
provide proper driveway if the �arage were
placed parallel to the alley.
5. The lot to the north is alley level. This
garage, already built, is on the eouth side
of lot four feet from property line and
- 2 -
ai�htaen feet from alley line with doors opening
to Fifteen Avenue. If Z could place my garage
�^ as raquested - ten feet from alley line - I
�ould have unobstructed vision in both directione
of the alley.
Youre truly,
��
