would need to be 24 feet in height which is higher by six feet than normally permitted.
Our hone is situated on 57.13 acres of unplatted land. Except for the home, there
are no buildings on the south shore of Alice Lake. The topography of the propcpsed
garage site is such that the garage could not be seen from the lake ---- there is an
intervening hill. Neither would it be visible from any public road due to hilly terrain
and distance (the nearest one is one-half mile away). Hence granting the requested
variance would not in any way conprcmise the purpose of the regulation relating to
maximum height of non-dwelling lake-side structures.
Therefore a variance is respectfully requested allowing us to build a garage with a
loft/studio not exceeding 24 feet in height.
