Dear Board:
On April 4,1990 I purchased the property in question. On the
property at the time was a small cabin and a two story garage.
The upper story of the garage was a bedroom. This factor was
essential to the sale as the two bedrooms in the cabin were very
small (6'-6" x 9'-6" and 5'6" x 9'6" respectfully). Only with
this bedroom was each of our two children able to have their own
bed. The property was advertised and sold to us with this room
functioning as a bedroom. The bedroom above the garage was
furnished with a bed and bedroom furniture when we viewed it and
subsequently bought the property. In speaking with Mr. and Mrs.
Ron Tisher, the previous owners, I was able to learn that;
1. The garage was built in the spring of 198.3.
2. A building permit was obtained for the construction.
3. It was the intention from the beginning to construct the
garage with the bedroom to accomodate their family.
4. The room has been used as a bedroom continually since
1983.
In consulting with local legal counsel, I understand that the
statute in this situation is designed to prevent two dwellings on
one property to prevent over-crowding on the lake. With that in
mind let, me say;
1. The bedroom in question was not built as a separate
dwelling but rather an additional sleeping room to
accomodate an average family or four.
2. The bedroom could not be used for the purpose of housing
another family unit thus contributing to the
over-crowding of the lake.
3. The garage is located 6 feet from the cabin and is joined
by both an upper and lower deck.
In conclusion I do not believe this property to violate the
spirit of the statute in question and the loss of this additional
sleeping space would drastically reduce the livability and thus
the value of this propery. The property has existed for quite a
period of time with this extra bedroom without adverse effect to
the lake and it's community. With this in mind I do ask that the
Board find in favor of my varrance request.
