Conditional Use Permit Request For Extension of Nonconforming Use
Dear City Permit Office,
We are requesting a conditional use permit for our property located at 224 West Cherry
Avenue Meridian, ID 83642. Our intention is to add an additional bedroom to our existing
house because we are expecting our fourth child in July. We find ourselves facing an undue
hardship in meeting the current requirements for adding a covered parking space along with
the new bedroom. The constraints of our lot size make it infeasible to comply with the
setback requirements. This in addition to the fact that our current house and parking doesn't
meet the minimum covered parking standards we are requesting an extension of this
nonconforming use.
Although building another enclosed parking is not feasible, we are sure the addition of an
extra bedroom will not pose any adverse impact on public health, safety, or welfare. The
increased number of occupants in our home will not contribute to a higher demand for
parking spaces. Furthermore, we already have sufficient parking options available to us.
Firstly, we possess a long gravel driveway adjacent to our existing driveway, measuring
approximately 13' by 20', which serves as an area for additional parking. Secondly, we have
ample parking space in front of our house to accommodate any extra vehicles that may visit.
We firmly believe that granting this conditional use permit and extension of nonconforming
use will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. On the contrary, it will
enable us to provide a suitable living environment for our growing family without
compromising the existing regulations or inconveniencing our neighbors.
Thank you for considering our request.
Sincerely,
Bryan and Carrie Klein
