The applicant is proposing the use of the general building line instead of the formal string line. Ralph Twardowski and Troy Rupp, Contractor, appeared along with the applicant.

We own the cabin next door to the west of Twardowskis, so we would like to know what they are planning, we are assuming the setback requirement variance they are requesting still means that they cannot build closer to the lake ( south)than their current cabin is sitting, is that true? are they planning on adding onto their cabin to the east, west, or north? & how large an addition are they planning? what is the difference between the general building line and the formal string line? Thanks for any info you can provide Jim & Floyd Carlson Wayne Stein - Re: twardowski variance Page 1 J Wayne Stein JdCarlsonRealty@aol.com Re: twardowski variance From: To: Subject: Question 1 - If the variance, as requested, is approved the applicant would be able to add an addition to the lake side of their existing structure. Questions 2 and 3 - The proposed addition is to the lake side of the existing cabin. The addition is described as an 8' by 36' open porch. Their drawing would seem to indicate that the current 24' by 36' cabin is 42' from the lake, however, the written request seems to imply that the proposed addition is 42' from the lake. As one stands on the shore and faces the Twardowski's cabin the string line would be applied from the corner of the cabin closest to the lot line on the left to the corner of the cabin closest to the lot line on the right. This would place almost all of the proposed addition ahead of the string line. The general building line starts in the same location as the sting line, however, the cabin to the right has a corner which is ahead of the corner which is closer to the lot line and that is the corner that would be considered as the general building line or sight line. If the general building line or sight line could be used then the proposed addition would be behind that line. Please note that my comments in the above two paragraphs are based on the drawing as provided by the applicant. I do not know the accuracy of the drawing. It is important to note the following: 1. The required setback on Crane Lake is 100' from the ordinary high water level. 2. When issuing site permits the string line can only be used administratively when it is not within the Shore Impact Zone. The Shore Impact Zone is 1/2 of the required setback. Therefore, unless a variance is granted for the proposed addition it is not possible for the Land and Resource office to issue a site permit for the proposed addition. 3. The building line or sight line is not used when issuing permits, but the Board of Adjustment can consider that line when making their decision regarding the granting of the variance as requested. »> <JdCarlsonRealty@aol.com> 11/26/03 01:23PM »> Wayne Stein-- My dad & I received Twardowski's request for a variance that you mailed us last week and we have a couple of questions.
