AUDITOR SEP 2 7 1995 Mr. Wayne Stein County Auditor Fergus Falls, MN 56537 Re: Gerald Hall’s application for variance on Octoba" 7,1993 l‘EnQU8FMU4,MN Dear Mr. Stein: I will be unable to attend the hearing on October 7th, but I want to lend my support to Mr. Hall’s petition. As I stated in support of his previous application in 1988,1 have been a summer resident in the cottage next to the Halls’ since 1929. Up until the late 1940’s, when ttie cottage was fully remodeled, the structure involv^ in the current application was a part of tiie house. A solarium extended the full length of the ea^ side and across the full front During the remodeling, the fiont section was removed but the ceiling beams left in place and a patio built undemeatti them. Thus the stmcture presently in question is not strictly new but rather a delayed replacement As I understand it, making the screen porch into a part of the main dwelling amounts to little more than glassing in the windows. As his neighbors, rry wife and I fully endorse this change and urge the Board of Adjustment to approve it Thank you. Sincerely, 1 Donald R. Keyworth Professor of I^Uosophy eV' BofiT" HOOzS I/& Ct)6U_ ,38* 5arocc,< (e* I &7lrJi)1\I5I t/O'oCOTTf\ee£~J30'vla i«u ao'fiLL $O\L.Ol/0£ai ft AS £y.t^Al^ CoHi/£fiT pc ftCH TO P^AT op CorTfiti^e is'0.
