(See appendix 7) t'The following constitute the purpose of the request: 1. Original dwelling was built in 1927 by my great grandfather and over time footings have sunk creating the need to access the dwelling from underneath and periodically jack/ shim walls, however damage has still occurred over time (see appendix 1) 2. Existing 2"'* level consists of 3 bedrooms whose irregular ceilings are sub-code at max 6'10" / min I'lO" and we would like to upgrade to meet code, having an 8' ceiling throughout (see appendix 2) 3. Existing lower level ceiling height is also 6'10" and would like to upgrade to meet code, having an 8' ceiling throughout (see appendix 3) We request the following points are also considered: 4. Replacement dwelling will occupy the existing footprint 5. Replacement dwelling will contain the same number of bedrooms - 3 - which is the number the existing septic system was designed to service 6. Increase in roof height will not obstruct the view from adjacent properties (see appendix 5) 7. Adjoining dwelling at 39556 was reconstructed in the winter of 2012/2013 and both it's foundation was built up and roofline significantly raised - putting it's new roofline at just over 25.5ft tall (see appendix (See appendix 4) 6) Note: I've found Google Maps website https://maps.google.com/ to most clearly show satellite images of properties and dwellings Signed: Noel Morsch / Jenna Morsch / Cynthia Morsch .K.

Mann Administrator \ ; April 10, 2014 Page # 2 Rodney and Connie Olmstead - Variance application approved as requested. (6:50 p.m.) Rodney and Connie Olmstead, part of Government Lot 3, Section 22 of Eastern Township by Long Lake and Mary Lake, requested the following: There is an existing 14’ by 70’ trailer house (980 Square feet) with a 12’ by 24’ deck on the lake side and a 5’ by 12’ porch on the roadside. Due to furnace problems and water pipes breaking, the trailer flooded and repairs exceed the value of the trailer. We would like to replace with a 24’ by 44’ (1056 square feet) stick built structure on a floating slab with a 10’ deck lakeside in the existing location being approximately 82’ from lake. Requesting a variance of 118’. This lake was a general development lake and was recently changed to a natural environment lake. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Paul Larson made a motion, second by Michael Harris and unanimously carried, to approve a variance of 118’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 200’ for the placement of a 24’ by 44’ stick built structure on a floating slab with a 10’ deck lakeside 82’ from the ordinary high water level as described in the variance application dated March 18, 2014 and as depicted on the submitted drawings. The variance as approved will not impact the immediate neighborhood, wili not place the proposed development any closer to the ordinary high water level than the existing development and is the best location on the property for the development being proposed.
