Dear Sirs,
I am writing to request a waiver for our building project located at our home at 44-675' .
Saffron Ct. in La Quinta: I am interested in converting one third of our garage into a ,
home office space. Apparently there is a building`code requirement that the remaining
part of the garage be 20' X 20'. J,would like to" request a•1' deviation waiver as there'is.
not adequate space to full fill this requirement. Currently there is an existing appliance
and cooling/heating unit placemenf that would not allow for the required space. I would
need to have the space be 20' X 19' to meet the location of these items and avoid major
reconstruction which is within the allowed 10% deviation allowance.
In our Cactus Flower development numerous homes have already been granted this '
deviation waiver as they have enclosed their smaller section of their garage into a room.,
Approval of this waiver will be appreciated based on both need and past practice. I .- ,
• ' appreciate your consideration in this matter. If you have any'questions you may contact
me at 275-5196 cell or.345-8806 home. Thank you for your assistance. •
Sincerely,
Harry Lo tos -
