Re: Retaining Wall Proposal
Dear Dept of Planning/Zoning,
MAY 0 9 2003
I would like to have a retaining wall built to level off my front lawn, I would like to do this for a couple of
reasons. One is that I recently added on to my house in the front and lost some of my useable yard, so this
retaining wall would allow me to gain back some of my front lawn. The other reason is that my yard is the
only sloped yard in our tract, and it would be more pleasing to the eye if we conformed to the neighborhood.
Any of the other neighbors who would find themselves in this position have already leveled their lawn with
retaining wall. Current building code says I can only build the wall 30" high, which won't be enough to
level my yard. I was told that I could apply for this based on a "Waiver of Development standards
requirement", Which is included in this packet. This waiver would allow an increase to 39'/2 inches, which
would allow me to level my yard as intended. The retaining wall will have stucco and paint to match the
house. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
J LaD uceur (Property Owner)
