A little background: My wife and I moved to Southlake in 2003 to start a new business, which is still operating today. We purchased a house and made Southlake our home. We own our house on Stanhope, and my 19,500 sqft. office building located at 2325 Dean Way here in Southlake. We purchased our home on Stanhope Ct. last June in order to size down a bit and needing an elevator to access the second floor as we are now in our early seventies. The property is very accessible which will accommodate our needs as we continue to age. However, the garage space is smaller than newer properties, as was common when the house was built. We would like to add a single car garage to park my pickup in and add some storage. That will give us a bit more room for our other vehicles, and give us the space to access our cars if and when we must use a walker or wheelchair. My wife had a severe fall several years ago and crushed her left foot. We realized during her 6 month recovery how important handicap accessible access is when entering and exiting your vehicle. We would appreciate any consideration you could give us in allowing the construction of this extra garage.
