After additional discussion and consideration the applicants decided to withdraw their variance request. With no further business. Chairman Walter declared the meeting adjourned. le ^eWayne Sdein, Secretary SCANNED Ellenson Exception to 's request for a variance The Ellensons are good neighbors. The Haines do not wish to interfere with the Ellenson's desire to expand or with their continuing efforts to improve their dwellings. The Ellensons have done much to improve the appearance and value of their property. The Haines do ask that the Ellenson's expansion plans use other alternatives and not build directly on the Haines/Ellenson property line. The two cabins on Ellenson's property have plenty of room between for expansion without having to build close to a property line. The Haines ask that the Ellenson expansion plans make use of the ample space on the Ellenson's four lots to make any additions or changes and respect the 10 foot setback. There is plenty of room without encroaching on the neighbors The Haines cabin is hemmed in by cabins on the two neighboring properties. Both neighboring cabins are built almost on the property lines common with the Haines. This proposed variance would continue to bottle in the Haines property. The proposed Ellenson cabin addition will increase the size of their main cabin which is on the property line by about 50%. The effect of the addition will be that of building a 10 to 15 foot high fence 16 to 20 feet in length. It would reduce the desirability and therefore the value of the Haines property. The measurements presented in the Ellensons' variance petition are based on speculation and not on actual surveying techniques. The distance from the proposed addition to the property line is even closer than stated. It will be within a few inches of the property line. Because of the angled property line, the addition gets closer to the property line as the addition gets bigger. Do not penalize a neighbor by changing the rules now. There is no reason to grant a variance to encroach on the Haines' property. Ample space is available elsewhere for expansion on the Ellensons' property. W. E. Haines R. E.

In 1961 we added a tion on lot 12 and subsequently purchased lots 10 Grandfather in 16 X 16’ addi- & 11. Because the lots were so small, most cottages have been sited near the lot line on one side when they were built sixty some years ago. Ule have two bedrooms, a bath, a closet and a hall in an area 16 x 16. Ule want to make that area into one bedroom and a hallway connecting to a new bedroom and bath out back away from the lake. The addition should continue back along our West lot line. The building is about 2’ 10“ from the line.

The front window needs repair and a 24" or less pop out window will give us a window seat and greatly increase our dining comfort in a small kitchen . We have had a pump house on the West side of our cottage extend­ ing nearly to the lot line since we added plumbing in about 1960. We can remove it when the addition is completed which will make more space between lots 13 & 14 and improve the looks of our building to our neighbor. SCANNED
