Mr & Mrs Richard & Kristene Kaskawal 545 E Eton Dr. Tucson, AZ 85704 April 4, 2017 Town of Oro Valley Board of Adjustment 11000 N La Canada Drive Oro Valley, AZ 85737 Dear Board of Adjustment, ITONTRIFIE, APR 14 2011 BY: We, Richard & Kristene Kaskawal, give Edith Villalobos of EmV Design Build permission to request information, fill out applications, ask questions, and perform work necessary on behalf of us to our new home located on 545 E Eton Dr in Suffolk Hills. Should you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 562-331-5228 or email at randkkaskawal@msn.com Sincerely, Mr. Richard Kaskawal Mrs. Kristene Kaskawal ON4 lei D C) 4 S9 545 E Eton Dr. Narrative: The reason for this Variance is to request a side set back reduction from 15'-0" to 2'-0" on the southwest corner up to an 8'-0" reduction on the northwest corner of the new detached RV/ Boat garage on the west side of the existing home. We also need a reduction of the required distance between buildings from 10'-0" to 3'-6" on the southeast corner of the garage. The northeast corner still meets the 10'-0" requirement. This request is important as placing the RV/ Boat garage anywhere in the property, aside from this location, that meets the current variance and Code will highly affect the views of both immediate east and west neighbors that have been accustomed to their lifestyle in the neighborhood for over 30 years. g��icN/�� 4 APR 1 4 2011 BY: ....................... vv?DbA!fl I . &-Xh.161*1 II-- ihen my husband and I decided to retire i Thank-you.

Eton Dr. Five Findings APR 14 2011 BY: ....................... i) That there are special circumstances or conditions applying to the property referred to in the application including its size. shape, topoeraphylocationor surroundings which do not apply to other properties in the district. Answer: SIZE: The proposed detached RV/ Boat Garage is to be approximately 29'- 0" wide x 41'-0" long x 18'-0" high to accommodate a motor home 8'-6" wide x 36'- 3" long x 12'-10" high and boat with trailer 8'-6" wide x 30'-0" long x 8'-0" tall. It will be frame and stucco construction, to be complimenting to the existing home. SHAPE: Due to the length of both recreational vehicles, the garage will be rectangular with a roof pitch draining to the back of the property where the slope significantly drops from the front of the property at the southernmost point of the lot towards the back of the property into the easement. TOPOGRAPHY: IF the existing car garage was ground level to the current driveway, the two west corner points would be as such: approximately 3'-8" above the ground at southwest point and 4'-8" above ground at the northwest point. As you can see, refer to Exhibit I, the ground continuously drops both to the west and the north of the property. LOCATION: The requested approval for variance is to place new structure close to the southwest corner of the home, approx. 3'-6"away, running close to parallel with the property line, from 15'-0" setback requirement to 2'-0" on the southwest corner, 15'-0" setback requirement to 8'-0" on the northwest corner, and from 10'- 0" to 3'-6" on the southeast corner of the garage, requiring a reduction of distance between buildings as well. We also cannot attach the garage east wall physically to the exterior west wall of the home as, by code, we must have a secondary form of egress to the outside either by a window or door in all bedrooms. There is currently an egress window on the west of the home, refer to Exhibit F-4. ii) That special circumstances were not created by the owner or applicant. Answer: When the Homeowners decided to consider their new retirement destination, they fell in love with Tucson, specifically with Oro Valley. Upon searching for many months, they chose this property due to multiple locations within their property with different views; to the southwest the city lights from Tucson, to the northwest the city lights from Oro Valley, and to northeast, the stunning views of the Catalinas. They knew they would be relocating all their recreational vehicles and wanted the property with land to keep them. Upon further exploration of the neighborhood, they discovered a few properties with larger RV garages as well as property owners with all their "Toys" just sitting in the front of the property, making those properties look like used car lots. They did not want to be "those kind of neighbors" or subject their new neighborhood to the same "used car lot" view, refer to Exhibit C-1, D-1, D-2 & E-2. Their intentions are to maintain a beautiful neighborhood and keep all their "toys" in their property without taking views away from any of their neighbors that have been in their neighborhood for over 3 decades in some cases. III) That the authorizing of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. Answer: After considering all areas within the property where a 29'-0"W x 41'-0"L x 18'-0"H detached garage can be located, and speaking to the neighbors on the past & current enjoyment of their properties, the best placement for the garage is between the West neighbor, Mr. Oliver Transue & their house. We all realize that said garage CAN be placed in an area where it will meet code and not require any variances, BUT both the east and west neighbors will be greatly affected in a negative way. By placing garage in an area towards the northwest of the property, where a variance is not an issue, the garage would sit above current ground a minimum of 4'- 6" to maintain an optimal driveway and then have the height of 18'-0" added to the 4'-6" retaining wall. This will 100% obstruct the view of the West neighbor, Mr. Transue, who has lived in that home since 1978. The East neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Abdul & Maria Kassamali, will also be losing their accustomed view since 1986 of City of Oro Valley as well as our desired sunsets from their pool area. Therefore, this Variance is so important and is currently supported by both neighbors, refer to all of Exhibit G & H. If the garage is placed anywhere in the front property, the only way we can meet the set regulations is by attaching to existing structure. This means that the East neighbors will lose all their Tucson city views as well as current home owners will lose the evening city views from their future proposed front door, refer to Exhibit A-4, C, H-3. IV) That any variance granted imposes such conditions as will assure that the authorizing of the adjustment shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located Answer: The only special privilege that this variance will grant is the continuation of enjoyment of both East and West neighbors, which both have been living in said 1- . properties for 30+ years. Other properties have detached garages in the neighborhood so this would also not be a singular scenario. On the other hand, not granting the variance will put neighbors in the position of feeling that their current enjoyment of views was not considered by current the homeowners. Mr. and Mrs. Kaskawal want to be team players and they have the best of interest for both their home, their lifestyle, but most importantly their newly neighborhood. v) That the authorizing of the variance be materially detrimental to persons residing in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood or the public welfare in general Answer: As mentioned in point iii), if the homeowners are not granted the variance, and the ability to place their new garage in between the west side of their property and the east side of Mr. Transue's property, they will be placing the garage, meeting all codes and Town of Oro Valley Regulations, in the back yard. This will severely affect both their current views from their back yard, the immediate East and West neighbors views, and remove a privilege these neighbors have been enjoying since the mid 70's & 80's. We have consulted with both immediate neighbors, east & west, and they BOTH agree to the proposed location, refer to Exhibit J. Mr. Transue, owner of 630 E Eton Dr is especially excited for the variance approval as he will be most affected if the garage is placed on the back yard needing no reductions on variance. He would much rather have the garage sitting just outside of his property rather than lose his views. Please consider our request. We have taken into consideration not just the homeowners need, but the neighbor's requests and the beautification and improvement of the neighborhood.
