Dear Mr. Seefeldt,
This letter is written in regards to James and Sandra Continenza's
hearing May 5, 2009, seeking a variance to allow an addition to an
existing accessory structure, which will exceed the allowable square
footage at 19423 Oxboro Avenue North.
We are neighbors of the Continenza's to the south and are in full
support to grant them a variance allowing them to construct an out-
building for storage on their property. Jim and Sandy offered to
purchase land from both neighbors in order to meet the above water
level acreage requirements, however we declined which left them with
no other option but to seek a variance.
Sandi and Jim Continenza take excellent care of their property. In our
discussions, they plan to paint all exterior buildings to match and use
this space to house equipment that would otherwise be on the lawn.
They care about their property and also value the impact this has on
their neighbors' property value as well.
We ask that you grant this variance to the Continenza's in support of
their effort to maintain their property. If the council disallows the
variance, it would seem to be punitive and is counter productive in
Scandia's effort to maintain it's natural, rural-beauty.
Thank you for considering our opinion.
Joyce and John Kramer
