7 Novi Zoning Board of Appeals: The pictures you are looking at show the existing garage and overhang that is located at our house. Jackie and I purchased this house from foreclosure back in the fall, as you can see it was neglected for many years, and is in need of a lot of work. We have taken it from an under maintained eyesore to a nice acceptable place to live. You won't see it in Better Homes and Gardens, but to us it is a pretty nice place. About the garage: I have had very favorable response from all the immediate neighbors that are in site of this garage to replace it, some have even said they II Can't Wait II and in looking at the pictures you can see why. This structure was originally built in 1963 when the original part of the house was built, the footprint of the existing garage and overhang is 30 feet by 45 feet covering close to 1300 sq feet. I hope to teardown this structure and replace it with a full size garage measuring 26 x 40,260 square feet smaller than the existing structure but 190 square feet over the building code. The main reason for the oversize garage is storage, the house is an old cottage style home, it has been added on twice since 1963, the house was built with no detail to storage and does not have a basement. The closets are under sized and the only storage we have is a 5 x 8 room that is accessible thru a 3 foot attic door off of one of the upper bedrooms. I have a 4 bedroom home with

8 very little storage space. The attic area in the garage will make up for the storage space I am lacking in the house and the extra square feet of floor space will help with storage of lawn and yard equipment eliminating the need for an outside storage shed. The garage and driveway is very visible from the street, the new garage along with all the improvements to the house and property will spruce things up a lot, and make the whole house and property a lot more appealing... Thank You Very Much for taking the time to review this... I I Thomas J 207 Rext iller Novi, MI 48377
