The variance request is for placement of a garage adjacent to an existing roadway easement, thereby waiving the 20 foot roadway setback. A summary of the request is included as follows: Proposed Project1. The garage is proposed to be a 24 foot by 26 foot wood frame structure for storage of equipment and vehicles. The structure will be compatible with the residential nature of the surrounding properties. The construction wilt require removal of two pine trees and minimal site grading for construction of the foundation. Site Considerations2. The approximate dimensions of the lot are 68 feet by 220 feet. The well and individual sewage disposal system are located between the house and the lake shore, and are not a factor in the placement of the garage. The site is level adjacent to the roadway easement and slopes moderately towards the lake from north to south. MflY-09 97 08:04 FROM:LPRSON PETERSON D.L. 818-847-8791 10:8187393781 PRGE:08''04 3. Roadway Easement The roadway easement is a 66 toot wide corridor for purposes of access to the lake shore properties. The rural section access driveway is less than 20 feet in width and terminates at the garage of Lot T-4. The roadway easement terminates also and will never extend westerly due to the location of existing structures and the steep grade to the west. The easement is maintained by the adjacent property owners. Mr. Henry Moltzan Jr., Candor Township Chairman, is familiar with the roadway location and confirmed that the township does not have jurisdiction and does not maintain the easement. Mr. Moltzan was surprised by the 66 foot width of the easement and of the opinion the present and expected future use of the easement did not justify the 66 foot width. 4. Request for Variance The request for variance is presented for the following reasons: -The proposed garage location has no adverse impact on the roadway easement or use of the easement. -The proposed garage location is within the maintained lawn area of the site and does not adversely affect adjacent properties. -Conformance with the 20 foot setback and the V-shaped lot alignment result in removal of an oak tree, additional fill due to the lot grade and reduces the house and garage separation. -The garage on lot T-4 does not conform to the 20 foot setback and may actually be within the easement corridor. The site conditions do not present the typical concerns associated with roadway setbacks, such as maintenance considerations. The proposed location of the garage has no negative impact on the site or adjacent properties and Is, in fact, the best location for the structure. For the above stated reasons, we request that the variance be granted. If you have any questions, please contact me at 218-847-5607.

In conversation at our office while obtaining the permit for moving the guest house you indicated it being unfeasible to set it back the required 100 feet. In good faith we allowed a 75 foot lake setback so as not to cause a hardship. However, upon inspection we f: nd no reason for not meeting the minimum requirements of the ordinance. Therefore, we ere revising your permit and requiring you to move your guest house the required minimum of 100 feet from the High water mark, as well as meeting the other minimum requirements of the ordinance.
