The Variance Committee;
We respectfully request that your committee grant us a variance allowing
us to maintain the present location of our Water Oriented Accessory Structure.
Our shed is an 8’ X 8’ structure that is currently located 47 feet from our
lot line, and is the required greater than 20 feet from the lake. It is currently
disguised by a large tree and lots of shrubbery. We found this to be the best
location as we didn’t have to remove any landscape or level any ground. It does
not obstruct any neighbor's view, or our view of that of our swimmable frontage.
It was placed there after our misinterpretation of the Table of Shoreland
Ordinance. We interpreted that lot line requirement to be that of general
development (40feet), rather than that of recreational development (65 feet)
which we interpreted to mean that of a resort, or campground, or such.
After being notified of our mistake, we began reconsidering our location.
After some careful consideration, we decided to apply for a variance, as both of
our other two choices of locations, imposed hardship. Either location in
compliance with your regulations would TOTALLY obstruct our view of our
children, (ages 9 and 4) whether either swimming or fishing off the dock.
Can you imagine any greater hardship than the “LOSS OF A CHILD?"
We hope that your committee will give this matter as much careful
consideration as we have and come to agree that the best possible location for
our Water Oriented Accessory Structure is exactly where it is currently located,
allowing us parents peace of mind for the safety of our children.
We sincerely thank your committee for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Terry, Barbara, Benjamin and Taylor Magnuson
