Re: 5680 Klamath Falls St
Brogan Creek #1, Lot #12, Block #2
Ammon, ID 83406
Dear Cindy Donovan,
This letter is in appeal to the denial of more than one access from the street to Lot #12 in Brogan Creek
Block #2. The consolidation of Lot 4 and Lot 5 resulted in new Lot #12. We are seeking permission for a
half circle driveway in the middle of Lot #12, in addition to access from the garage to the street. A half
circle driveway will minimize roadside parking on Klamath Falls Street and provide a safer return to the
street from the lot.
Sincerely,
Richard Blatter
